Description:

This title presents an analysis of the moral and social dimensions of microeconomic behaviour, questioning the application of standard neo-classical assumptions to communities with widespread disparity of income.

Synopsis:

A unique analysis of the moral and social dimensions of microeconomic behaviour in developing countries, this book calls into question standard notions of rationality and many of the assumptions of neo-classical economics, and shows how these are inappropriate in communities with widespread disparity in incomes. This book will prove to be essential for students studying development economics.
