The non-neoclassical  characterization of production developed in this book ignores the  usual quantitative relationships between inputs and outputs and  instead views production strictly as a problem of control and  communication. The motivation for this unconventional characterization  of production comes from Schumpeter's critique of neoclassical  economic theory. Schumpeter argued that neoclassical economic theory,  and the habits of thought engendered by it, was the major obstacle to  acquiring an understanding of technological change. The  non-neoclassical characterization of production developed in this book  is in keeping with how economic historians describe specific  technological changes and how they write technological histories about  particular machines, firms or industries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401041690\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401041690\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0377-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 155\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343283024012,"sku":"9789401041690","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401041690_35a76f68-f443-4c27-871f-95debef2d1be.jpg?v=1755050821","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401041690","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
