Reviews

If the assumption is no longer that our preferences and wants are fixed but that they change over time, how should we think of economic welfare? In a much needed book, Martin Binder puts a novel discussion of these crucial issues on a firm behavioural and evolutionary footing. - Jack Vromen, Erasmus University, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
