Description
Pieter Hennipman, the leading Dutch economist of the post-war period, has made many substantial contributions to economic policy, welfare economics and, latterly, the methodology and history of economic thought. This book brings together a key selection of his papers which express Professor Hennipman’s analysis of the theory of economic policy and his discussion of its definition, its character and its scope. In particular, it features his contributions to welfare economics and his examination of the transition from the view of welfare as exclusively dependent upon consumption. This volume also includes his essays on the history of the theory of welfare economics.
