The literature grew  to a steady flow and spanned diverse areas of thought including  socialist and `rational-choice Marxist' assessments, and other  approaches including institutional, sociological, psychological,  ethical, choice-theoretical, strategic, and game-theoretical  treatments of rationality. \u003cbr\u003e  This diversity of literature led to the creation of this volume. What  does rationality mean? Was there some common core of meaning that held  all of these seemingly disparate developments together, or were there  discernable schools of thought with peculiarities that set them  clearly apart from one another? The essays in this volume illustrate  that diversity, and despite the variety of approaches there remains a  common core of meaning that accommodates not so much a radically  different set of concepts of rationality as a highly variegated array  of methods and approaches to this subject. Contributors address topics  of their choice on the concept of rationality in economics, and the  selection of these contributors is meant to represent a variety of  backgrounds and approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401060370\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401060370\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4862-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 149\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359017267340,"sku":"9789401060370","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401060370.jpg?v=1755100208","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401060370","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
