4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Survey of Coase's Contributions, October 1, 1999

By

This review is from: The Legacy of Ronald Coase in Economic Analysis (Intellectual Legacies in Modern Economic) (Hardcover)

This book provides a solid, comprehensive, and nicely accessible survey of Ronald Coase's contributions to economics. The author knows his Coase. My only complaint is that the author does not pour enough of his own critical assessmennt into the book. This failure is real for me, even though I sense -- from what little critical evaluation the author does offer -- that the author is far more critical of Coase's economics than I am. Nevertheless, this introduction to Coase's contribution is quite well done.
