On the New Book in Microeconomics by S. Bowles

https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2011-8-115-121

Abstract

The paper discusses advantages and shortcomings of the Bowles book, with the emphasis on the community ownership, altruism, and cooperative behavior. The author claims that the book while being surely valuable as an academic contribution, can not, however, substitute standard textbooks in microeconomics.
