	William S. Vickrey, June 21, 1914—October 11, 1996 \| By Jacques H. Drèze \| Biographical Memoirs
		A central concern of economics is the extent to which decentralized decisions by a myriad of economic agents (consumers, workers, producers, asset holders, and public authorities) are compatible with efficiency and equity.
		The field is concerned with the economics of the public sector, with government's effect on the economy.
		The modern economic style of proceeding from numbered assumptions to numbered theorems was quite foreign to Vickrey, in spite of his familiarity with, and thorough understanding of, the relevant literature--a refreshing exception, given the richness of content.

	Technology - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Intermediate technology, more of an economics concern, refers to compromises between central and expensive technologies of developed nations and those which developing nations find most effective to deploy given an excess of labour, and scarcity of cash.
		In economics, definitions or assumptions of progress or growth are often related to one or more of the above assumptions.
		These, and economics itself, can often be described as technologies, specifically, as persuasion technology — a concern covered in its own separate article.

	Ecological Economics @ Rensselaer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Economic activity is invariably dependent on natural resources, generates material wastes, and is governed by the same biophysical laws as the rest of the physical environment.
		Ecological economics is methodologically pluralistic, meaning that ecological economists have a variety of views about what ecological economics is and what its primary focus should be.
		Social concerns take the form of the relative equality of the distribution of income or wealth, which are considered but often regarded as being beyond the realm of economics.

	THE USE OF MATHEMATICS IN ECONOMICS
		But concerns have been raised that mathematisation has proceeded at the cost of attention to matters which cannot be expressed mathematically, ie the alternative modes of communication can actually allow analysis in areas closed to mathematics.
		He was influential particularly in his efforts to promote economics as a discipline and to project it as a unified social science, in spite of the debates then raging between the mathematical pure theorists, the empiricists and the non-mathematical pure theorists.

	Equity and the Environment - Background Paper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In economics the end purpose of economic activity is the generation of individual utility, and intergenerational equity is considered in terms of the distribution of utility over time.
		The real point about arguments concerning long lived environmental impacts must be either that they are of such magnitude as to affect AS, or that the environmental impacts involved are such that they should not be treated as commensurable with produced commodities.
		This does not, of course, mean according to economic criteria that rich and poor are to seen as suffering equally from the existing level of pollution, or that the benefits of reduction will be the same for rich and poor.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The notion of appropriate technology developed in the 20th century to describe situations where it was not desirable to use very new technologies or those that required access to some centralized infrastructure or parts or skills imported from elsewhere.
		In economics, definitions or assumptions of progress or of growth often derive from one of the above assumptions.
		In warfare, technological escalation is often a feature of an arms race, and may result in new military technology.

	Managerial Accounting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		If there is a unifying theme that runs through most of managerial economics it is the attempt to optimize business decisions given the firm's objectives and given constraints imposed by scarcity.
		The main concern for the manager is not to be held responsible for any mistakes, which results in less innovative decisions.
		With a high concern for production, and a low concern for people, managers using this style find employee needs unimportant; they provide their employees with money and expect performance back.

	How Did We Lose Our Freedom? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Unfortunately, the courts abandoned their defense of "economic freedom" and "Property rights" at the same time as the nation swooned before the seductive promises of collectivism.
		So far as the requirement of due process is concerned, and in the absence of other constitutional restrictions, a state is free to adopt whatever economic policy may reasonably be deemed to promote the public welfare, and to enforce that policy by legislation adapted to its purpose.
		Retreat from the old vigilant protection for the rights of liberty and property was so complete that for many years we have lived with a presumption that anything the state did in the way of economic regulation was reasonable and of sufficient importance to justify the diminution in the citizen's freedom.

	Liberation Theology and Economics: Like Oil and Water? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Prevention of poverty and suffering were still underlying motives for economic analysis, but as the mathematics of economics became more sophisticated there was a tendency for the poor to become lost in the abstract reasoning.
		The liberation theologians, understandably concerned with the lack of advancement among the poor of Latin American societies, were attracted to the dependency view for many reasons.
		Their solution is to adopt the economic principles of Henry George [1979]: to institute large-scale taxes on the rental value of land, a God-given, not a manmade, resource.

		Luke was not the source of the economic themes in the traditions about the teachings and actions of Jesus, but he seems to have been an aggressive intensifier of these themes.
		While classifying economic approaches attributed to Jesus in the synoptic Gospels has not been a focus of this essay, my sense is that the theme of the spiritual dangers of wealth is more deeply and broadly evident in the Jesus traditions than are themes of economic sharing and reversal.
		This theory pushes any redactional economic bias back to the transmission of the text of Q. While differences in their sources are possible, it is an unnecessarily complicated theory based on a determination to deny redactional bias to the Gospel writers.

	Murray N. Rothbard: Economics, Science, and Liberty by Hans Hoppe
		According to the Austrian mainstream, all economic laws can be derived deductively from a few elementary facts of nature and man (Menger), or from a single axiom (Mises), i.e., the proposition “man acts,” which one cannot dispute without running into a performative contradiction, and which is, thus, indisputably true, and a few empirical—and empirically testable—assumptions.
		Scores of political philosophers and economists, from Thomas Hobbes to James Buchanan and the modern public-choice economics, have attempted to escape from this conclusion by portraying the state as the outcome of contracts, and hence, a voluntary and welfare-enhancing institution.
		In fact, it is Rothbard’s recognition of economics and political philosophy (ethics) as pure aprioristic theory, and of theoretical reasoning as logically anteceding and constraining every historical investigation, which makes his empirical scholarship superior to that of most orthodox historians, and has established him as one of the outstanding “revisionist” historians.

	New Economist: Rising real wages a concern?
		Broader concerns are whether taxpayers are getting value for money from those extra workers, and the impact of higher tax and wages on investment:
		If the rest of the world is busily controlling wages and improving competitiveness, the UK might eventually suffer from a loss of capital and a slowing growth rate.
		This article makes sense, and i agree with some of the comments outlined, but none the less is written by a man who earns very good wages so cannot possibly understand what its like to earn crap wages.

	selling waves: Why social scientists need to throw away their classical paradigms
		The point of this digression is simply to suggest that the classical approaches are reaching their limiting points even in biology and that the days where one didn’t need to know mathematics to do chemistry are swiftly fading.
		Quite simply, because biology and economics have generally done a good job noting that spontaneous order does arise in the relevant areas, but have not done a particularly good job by themselves of explaining why.
		Moreover, simply to translate economic analysis from words into symbols, and then to retranslate them so as to explain the conclusions, makes little sense, and violates the great scientific principle of Occam s Razor that there should be no unnecessary multiplication of entities.

	Council for World Mission \| CWM \| Christian Charity Organization
		First, we should be reminded again that the heart of economics as oikos-nomos, (the law or rules of the house) is indeed the oikos- the household.
		It is here that the effects of economics are felt most deeply, and it is the livelihoods of these ordinary people- rather than stockmarkets, inflation targets and the gross domestic product- that should be the key concern of economics.
		In this way the church is a sign community for the wider household of earth, and should be a constant witness against the economics of exclusion, which is hell-bent on ensuring that the wealth generated by human labour and the graciousness of God is the preserve of the select few.

	Public Choice Theory, by Jane S. Shaw: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Public choice theory is a branch of economics that developed from the study of taxation and public spending.
		Although most people base some of their actions on their concern for others, the dominant motive in people's actions in the marketplace—whether they are employers, employees, or consumers—is a concern for themselves.
		Public choice economists make the same assumption—that although people acting in the political marketplace have some concern for others, their main motive, whether they are voters, politicians, lobbyists, or bureaucrats, is self-interest.
