The Neoclassics: Utility
Author(s)Robinson, Joan
AbstractNeoclassical economics, unlike the classical school that preceded it, relies on the concept of utility for its theory of value and behavior. This selection examines the meaning of utility to the founders of neoclassical economics and present and criticizes the ways in which early theorists dealt with some of the internal contradictions in their approach.
