(This volume consists of eleven previously unpublished pap...)
This volume consists of eleven previously unpublished papers by some of the world's most distinguished economic theorists. The papers were written in honour of Leonaid Hurwicz, and they address and extend his classic work on welfare and consumer preferences. Part one on preferences and optimality deals with the relationship between welfare measurement and consumer preferences. The papers in part two extend the classical theory of rational consumer behaviour to uncertain environments. The subject of part three is production under uncertainty. "Preferences, Uncertainty, and Optimality" is essential reading for scholars and advanced students of consumer behaviour and welfare economics.

( This is the definitive English-language edition of one ...)
This is the definitive English-language edition of one of the monumental works of the Christian church. All previous editions--in Latin, French, German, and English--have been collated; references and notes have been verified, corrected, and expanded; and new bibliographies have been added.The translation preserves the rugged strength and vividness of Calvin's writing, but also conforms to modern English and renders heavy theological terms in simple language. The result is a translation that achieves a high degree of accuracy and at the same time is eminently readable. Long recognized for the quality of its translations, introductions, explanatory notes, and indexes, the Library of Christian Classics provides scholars and students with modern English translations of some of the most significant Christian theological texts in history. Through these works--each written prior to the end of the sixteenth century--contemporary readers are able to engage the ideas that have shaped Christian theology and the church through the centuries.
