Economic Abundance
Book (italiano):
Economics as it is usually taught is the economics of scarcity--the allocation of scarce resources among alternative wants. Designed as a supplementary text for students at the principles and intermediate undergraduate levels, Dugger (economics, U. of Tulsa, Oklahoma) and Peach's (economics, New Mexico State U.) book examines the concept of abundance--that communities can produce an adequate level of goods and services for the knowledge context in which people are operating. The authors discuss the intellectual history of abundance; the meaning of the term; the idea that population, natural resources and the environment are not the source of the problem; social systems of inequality that prevent abundance; and abundance-promoting policies.
