Adolph Lowe – författare

Adolph Lowe, one of the most eminent scholars of political economics now living, has written a broad and philosophical work examining freedom's costs, and the conditions--economic and political--under which it can be established. The culmination of a lifetime of teaching and thought, this book asserts that Western society is in the midst of a revolutionary transformation. Unless a new framework is built to replace traditional constraints, now rejected, this cultural upheaval will result in the breakdown of the order, stability, and freedom that have been the foundation of modern Western society.

The writings on the theory of economic growth share almost without exception two characteristics - they deal exclusively with steady growth or equilibrium dynamics, and they try to predict the actual course of long-term development on the basis of greatly oversimplified behaviour assumptions. This book, first published in 1976, studies the many variants of a disequilibrium path, which growth processes pursue under the impact of major growth stimuli - changes in labour supply, in natural resources, and in technology. The study gives direction to public policies, sharply distinguishing between the requirements of market economies and of planned systems.

This book, first published in 1965 with a revised edition in 1977, examines the subject matter and the method of the science of economics.

This title will be of interest to students of economics.
