Description

While there are many economists in academia, government, unions, and nonprofit organizations working in the institutionalist tradition, there is currently no book on the market describing this tradition. Editors Champlin and Knoedler have brought together prominent labor economists, highly respected institutional economists, and newer scholars working on issues of such current importance as immigration, wage discrimination, and living wages. Their essays portray the institutionalist tradition in labor as it exists today as well as its historical and theoretical origins. This work is a major contribution to the literature of labor economics, institutionalist economics, and the history of economic thought.
