Description
Finally, the much awaited third book in Palda’s “Social Calculus Trilogy” which covers all branches of economics. In A Better Kind of Violence Palda reveals how in recent years economists have learned to fuse economics and politics to produce a total theory of power. The most surprising conclusions are that politics tends towards a limited form of efficiency and that the advice of policy experts is irrelevant. The book draws on the three pillars of economics (individual maximization of utility, material constraints, the emergence of equilibrium) to show how economists have bypassed all other social sciences in creating the greatest breakthrough in political thinking since Plato.
