Is economic efficiency a sound basis upon which to make public policy or legal decisions? In this sophisticated analysis, Richard S. Markovits considers the way in which scholars and public decision-makers define, predict, and assess the moral and legal relevance of economic efficiency. The author begins by identifying imperfections in the traditional definition of economic efficiency. He then develops and illustrates an appropriate response to Second-Best Theory and investigates the moral and legal relevance of economic-efficiency analyses. Not only do virtually all economic, legal, and public policy thinkers misdefine economic efficiency, the author concludes, they also ignore or respond inadequately to Second-Best Theory when analyzing the economic efficiency of public choices and misassess the relevance of economic-efficiency conclusions both for moral evaluations and for the answer to legal-rights questions that is correct as a matter of law.

Pour la seconde fois depuis 1945, la société française vit une sorte de révolution. Mais alors que dans le profond remodelage des Trente Glorieuses se déployait une modernisation dont les champs de force étaient clairement dessinés, la mutation actuelle déstabilise parce qu'elle apparaît éclatée et sans issue nettement perceptible. En contrepoint des grandes transformations économiques et institutionnelles, Pierre Veltz décrit ici ce basculement comme l'apparition d'un nouvel univers industriel, en s'attachant à ce qu'il appelle les " formes élémentaires " de la vie économique : nouvelles manières de travailler, de produire, d'innover, d'échanger. Ni la vague technologique ni la diffusion du nouvel esprit néo-libéral ne suffisent à rendre compte de ces changements, qui entrent en résonance avec de multiples facettes de la vie sociale, au travail comme dans les autres sphères de l'existence. Il s'agit bien de l'émergence d'un monde différent : un nouvel univers non seulement technique, mais moral, qui engendre une énorme anxiété, mais qui rencontre aussi des aspirations fondamentales de l'individualisme moderne, tels l'exigence d'autonomie et le désir de limitation des engagements. Une postface inédite revisite ces analyses, avec huit ans de recul, pour les ajuster et les étayer plus encore.

Most people support sustainable development without knowing what it is. What exactly are sustainable consumption and sustainable production, and how are these practices identified? This volume reviews the state-of-the-art in measuring sustainable production processes in industry. It includes metrics developed by business, trade unions, academics, NGOs, and the OECD and IEA. These measurement approaches cover the "triple bottom line" (economic, environmental and social dimensions) of industrial sustainability.

Over the past few years, the countries of Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union have seen rapid productivity growth that has driven up living standards and reduced poverty. Unleashing Prosperity examines the microfoundations of the recent growth. The report shows that these countries have enjoyed substantial productivity gains from the reallocation of labor and capital to more productive sectors and firms, from the entry of new firms and the exit of obsolete firms, and from the more efficient use of resources. Unleashing Prosperity also illustrates that policy reforms that promote governa
