Summary:
This unique book portrays theories that differ from the current static theory of economic efficiency which favours economic uniformity. Using evolutionary, dynamic and static contexts, Clem Tisdell shows how diversity and limits to the operation of competitive processes such as dampened market reactions can improve or hinder economic performance. The economic value of using markets and market-like mechanisms for improving the management of businesses and public bodies is also assessed in this informative book.
