A  running theme throughout this book is that personalist economics is  attentive to both aspects of human material need - physical  need and the need for work as such - in a way that does not  disregard human wants. Accordingly, this book is more concerned about  the philosophical base and description of the economy's significant  characteristics than social economic policy. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePersonalist Economics\u003c\/em\u003e explores four dimensions of particularly  acute human physical need: unemployment, poverty, homelessness, and  death. In addressing these four aspects of need, the book delves into  the second and third domains of social economics: description of the  significant characteristics of the economy, and social economic  policy. In the same way, \u003cem\u003ePersonalist Economics\u003c\/em\u003e explores two  types of economic cooperation - supra-firm alliances and  inter-firm partnerships - as means for addressing certain  aspects of human material need. This book concludes with a lengthy  discussion of the challenges facing personalist economics in the years  ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781441950369\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441950369\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-6167-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 230\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358601801868,"sku":"9781441950369","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441950369_e558a9c9-8b61-4625-bfb2-f3d9390a49b6.jpg?v=1755109457","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781441950369","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
