This collection brings together important materials concerning the
study of the economy as a system of power, offering a sample of
positions taken by contributors to the Journal of Economic Issues
in response to the perceived problems of the social control of
corporate power.
Warren Samuels interprets Vilfredo Pareto's Treatise on General
Sociology in terms of a general equilibrium model of policy. Three
themes and one conviction run throughout the study. The first is a
model of policy making involving three sets of variables: power,
knowledge, and psychology. The second is a general equilibrium
approach to the study of these variables emphasizing their
fundamental interdependence. The third is the importance of
Pareto's work. Pareto is one of the few individuals whose work has
had enormous influence in at least three social sciences in the
twentieth century: economics, sociology, and political science.
Despite Pareto's attempt in the Treatise to produce a general
sociology encompassing all of these sciences (as well as
psychology), his work has been treated almost completely from the
perspectives of the individual disciplines. This volume's
interpretation is consonant with Pareto's intention in the
Treatise, namely, to provide a general equilibrium model of the
total socio-politico-economic decision-making or policy process.
The book is directed at those who comprehend these as processes
whose structure, conduct, and performance are a function of complex
decision making. Social scientists and policy analysts have moved
beyond models that solve problems in the abstract, without working
them out through policy making in the real world. The approach
outlined here is important to those who are interested in pursuing
the working rules of law and morals that govern the distribution
and exercise of power as well as the exercise of power that governs
the development of these rules.

Providing another key contribution to the immensely popular field
of law and economics, this book, written by the doyen of the
history of economic thought in the US, explores the dynamic
relationship between economics, law and polity. Combining a
selection of old and new essays by Warren J. Samuels that chart a
number of key themes, it provides an important commentary on the
development of an academic field and demonstrates how policy is
structured and manipulated by human social construction. The areas
covered include: the role of manufactured belief power the nature
and sources of rights the construction of markets by firms and
governments and the problem of continuity and change in the form of
the question of the selectively defined status quo and its status
the absolutist character of government, rights, markets and legal
principles and the accepted ideational structure of law. The
Legal-Economic Nexus is an essential read both economists and legal
professionals as well as those researching the history of economic
thought and the social construction of law.

Institutional economics has been a major part of economic thought
for the whole of the 20th century, and still remains crucial to the
understanding of the development of heterodox economics. The two
principal publications which founded the school were Veblen's "The
Theory of the Leisure Class" and Commons's "A Sociological View of
Sovereignty", both published in 1899. As a tribute to these two
seminal works, a prestigious international group of scholars has
been assembled to produce this volume celebrating the centenary.
The chapters assess the work of Veblen and Commons and their
influence on the school of institutional economics from a variety
of theoretical perspectives. The contributions on Veblen appraise
his anthropological analysis of promotional habits of American
households from sociological, linguistic and feminist points of
view. Conversely, the essays on Commons's work focus on the
concepts of property, power and the relationship between legality
and economics. The following have contributed: Glen Atkinson,
Philipe Broda, E. Ray Canterbery, Richard Dawson, Richard Gonce,
David Hamilton, Lewis E. Hill, Geoffrey Hodgson, Ann Jennings,
Margaret Lewis, Anne Mayhew, Steven G
