Economics and Social Justice: Essays on Power, Labor and Institutional Change (Economists of the Twentieth Century series)

David Gordon was a pioneer in the field of institutional growth economics, introducing the concept of a "social structure of accumulation" and illustrating its usefulness with both econometric and historical studies. This is a collection of some of his most influential works, selected and introduced by his two closest collaborators. The book opens with an introduction and overview of Gordon's career and published work, and is followed by his major essays on a variety of topics.
