About the Book

In an analysis of economic institutions - which include social conventions, the working rules of an economy - economists invoke the same theories they use when analyzing individual behavior. This book challenges these theories, arguing instead for "volitional pragmatism" as a plausible way of thinking about the evolution of economic institutions.

About the Author :
Daniel W. Bromley is Anderson-Bascom Professor of Applied Economics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Review :
At last, someone has written a hard-hitting demonstration that formulating the problems of economic policy in the 'old institutionalist' framework of analysis yields far greater insights than do attempts to frame these problems of achieving 'economic efficiency'. Daniel Bromley has written such a book: Sufficient Reason ... and it should be widely read by both the supporters and critics of environmental economics. -- Bryan Norton Environmental Values
