Hirschman, great political economist of our time, introduces us to the study of Western Europe, the United States and Latin America. From his own memories of the fascist period retold on the occasion of his honorary degree to two previously unpublished writings on the origins of European integration, from ...

Well-known as a pioneer of economic development, Albert O. Hirschman has been the flag-bearer of possibilism and reform-mongering in political science. How Reforms Should Be Passed is an anthology of texts chosen personally by Hirschman on the latter production line-as he was to call it informally-that is rooted in his long and quasi-exclusive concern for development and Latin America. Key essays on the formation and the evolution of Hirschman...

How Economics Should Be Complicated is an anthology of texts personally authorized by the Albert O. Hirschman and edited by Luca Meldolesi, that appeared in Italian in the series of the "Great Contemporary Economists" at Il Mulino, Bologna, in 1988.

Dalla Dichiarazione dei diritti dell'uomo alle battaglie per l'allargamento del suffragio a fine Ottocento, alla creazione del welfare state, Hirschman rilegge due secoli di storia alla ricerca dei meccanismi retorici in atto nello scontro fra spinte riformatrici e controspinte reazionarie. Individua così tre tipi di argomentazioni usate dal pensiero conservatore: le tesi della perversità (il cambiamento genererebbe effetti perversi), della fu...

Che scelte hanno i consumatori, gli iscritti a un partito, i cittadini di fronte al deterioramento di un prodotto, al declino dell'organizzazione partitica, all'inefficienza e ai segnali di disgregazione di uno stato? Secondo il pensiero degli economisti, il consumatore insoddisfatto opterà per la defezione. Ma non sempre ciò è possibile. Talvolta la strada dell'uscita è sbarrata o troppo costosa. In questo caso, come pensano j politologi, le ...

The Essential Hirschman brings together some of the finest essays in the social sciences, written by one of the twentieth century's most influential and provocative thinkers. Albert O. Hirschman was a master essayist, one who possessed the rare ability to blend the precision of economics with the elegance of literary imagination. In an age in which our academic disciplines require ever-greater specialization and narrowness, it is rare to encou...

Welche politischen Folgen hat ökonomisches Wachstum? Da die zeitgenössischen Sozialwissenschaften keine befriedigende Antwort auf diese wichtige Frage zu geben vermögen, geht Hirschman zunächst ins 17. und 18. Jahrhundert zurück, als es die beiden »Disziplinen« der Wirtschaftswissenschaften und der politischen Wissenschaft noch nicht gab. Er rekonstruiert das intellektuelle Klima jener Epoche und zeichnet den verwickelten ideologischen Transfo...

Albert O. Hirschman is renowned worldwide for theories that have been at the forefront of political economics during the last half century. In these twenty essays he casts his sharp analytical eye on his won ideas, questioning and qualifying some of his major propositions on social change and economic development.

Questo saggio si concentra sulla dinamica che determina l'adesione a un impegno collettivo o il ripiegamento nella propria sfera privata, identificando le forme di scontento che stanno alla base di tali comportamenti. Hirschman parte dall'analisi dell'individuo che, concentrato dapprima sul suo benessere privato, acquista, per soddisfare i suoi bisogni, ogni genere di beni. Ma che cosa succede quando egli, ottenendo ciò che pure desiderava, sc...

Originally published in 1967, the modest and plainly descriptive title of Development Projects Observed is deceptive. Today, it is recognized as the ultimate volume in Hirschman's groundbreaking trilogy on development, and as the bridge to the broader social science themes of his subsequent writings.

The experience accumulated in the wake of more than two decades of sustained effort to promote growth and change in the low-income countries presents a rich field for scholarly inquiry and new insights into the development process. The success and failures of such projects, the new skills and attitudes they impart, and the internal tensions they sometimes generate obviously have an important bearing on the next stages of a county's development...

Hirschman draws his examples from three successive waves of reactive thought that arose in response to the liberal ideas of the French Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man, to democratization and the drive toward universal suffrage in the nineteenth century, and to the welfare state in our own century.

This book brings together fourteen articles and papers written by Albert O. Hirschman.

An innovator in contemporary thought on economic and political development looks here at decline rather than growth. Albert O. Hirschman makes a basic distinction between alternative ways of reacting to deterioration in business firms and, in general, to dissatisfaction with organizations: one-exit-is for the member to quit the organization or for the customer to switch to the competing product, and the other-voice-is for members or customers ...
