Schultz's copy, with his signature (faded) on the title page. xxvii, 424 pp. Original cloth. Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. A somewhat intriguing association, given the common interests of Schultz and Drèze's son, Jean: 'Over the past two decades there has been a shift in thinking regarding the goals of international development. This change was stimulated in part by Sen, [Jean] Dreze, Schultz and others, who introduced the concept that poverty goes beyond the traditional definition of lack of income to encompass economic, social and governance dimensions' (Kiess, Lynnda; Moench-Pfanner, Regina; Bloem, Martin W., 'Food-based strategies: Can they play a role in poverty alleviation?', in Helen Keller International/Asia-Pacific, Homestead Food Production A Strategy to Combat Malnutrition and Poverty. Helen Keller International, Jakarta, Indonesia, 2001; works cited are Dreze J. and Sen A., Hunger and Public Action, Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1989, and Schultz T., 'Investment in Human Capital', Amer. Econ. Rev. 196; 51:1). 'While working on the thesis, I started working with Franco Modigliani on savings decisions under uncertainty. I soon realised that many other chapters of microeconomic theory similarly called for extension to uncertainty. My volume of collected papers, Essays on Economic Decisions under Uncertainty, consists of several parts: individual as well as public decisions, market equilibrium, consumer as well as producer decisions, human capital and labour contracts a breadth singled out for praise by John Hey in his kind review of the book. My alertness to the need of spelling out the extensions to uncertainty of many economic models is no doubt rooted in my early exposure to practical business situations: coping with uncertainty was part of the daily life of my father and of his customers' (Omar Licandro and Pierre Dehez, 'From uncertainty to macroeconomics and back: An interview with Jacques Drèze', on Licandro's European University Institute, Florence, Web site). 'Jacques Drèze was among the handful of economists responsible for resurrecting economic theory on continental Europe which had been left moribund for much of the century after the dissipation of the Lausanne School. The new European economics also came with a distinct flavor of its own: 'Non-Walrasian' theory. Also important in developing the theory of the firm and finance in the context of multiple ownership and the theory of equilibrium under uncertainty' (History of Economic Thought Web site; this book is included in the site's 'Major Works of Drèze). Theodore W. Schultz: Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, 1979 (shared with Arthur Lewis), 'for their pioneering research into economic development research with particular consideration of the problems of developing countries.', Books<
