Equilibrium, trade and growth, Mitra Tapan, Nishimura Kazuo (Eds.), Selected Papers of Lionel W. McKenzie, The MIT Press, Cambridge, Mass(2009)

摘要

This volume is a delight for those who are interested in the foundations of general equilibrium theory as it contains 23 papers by a scholar of the greatest distinction, Lionel McKenzie; the papers are, as the title of the collection indicates, in the areas of Equilibrium trade and growth with two additional, introductory chapters which are full of insights: one from the editors, very distinguished scholars themselves and the other by the master himself. It is a pity that scholars like Lionel McKenzie are not known to the general public; in McKenzie's case even few among the profession seem to be aware of the depth and extent of his contributions. His students, of course, revered Lionel McKenzie like no other scholar; they constitute an exclusive club for which membership was severely restricted and is now closed.
