The papers collected here deal with various topics in economic theory, ranging from preference and consumption, duality and production, equilibrium, capital, and growth, to the theory of social overhead capital. They all have a common theme: to try to formulate the working of economic forces in a capitalist economy in terms of mathematical models and to explore their static, dynamic, and welfare implications. Most of the papers were originally published during the 1960s and early 1970s.

(Social common capital provides members of society with th...)
Social common capital provides members of society with those services and institutional arrangements that are crucial in maintaining human and cultural life. The term "social common capital" is comprised of three categories: natural capital, social infrastructure, and institutional capital. Natural capital consists of all natural environment and natural resources including the earth's atmosphere. Social infrastructure consists of roads, bridges, public transportation systems, electricity, and other public utilities. Institutional capital includes hospitals, educational institutions, judicial and police systems, public administrative services, financial and monetary institutions, and cultural capital. This book attempts to modify and extend the theoretical premises of orthodox economic theory to make them broad enough to analyze the economic implications of social common capital. It further aims to find the institutional arrangements and policy measures that will bring about the optimal state of affairs in which the natural and institutional components are blended together harmoniously to realize the sustainable state as suggested by John Stuart Mill.

Earlier work covered various topics in economic theory, such as the construction of the logical framework for the analysis of consumer’s behaviour, the duality of production functions and cost functions, the stability problem of price mechanism in a market economy, and the analysis of non-tâtonnement processes. Then my interest shifted to the problems of economic growth in a capitalist economy with particular emphasis upon the role played by the interaction of the consumption good industry and the investment good industry. This was accomplished by the construction of a two-sector model of economic growth, which was later utilised to examine the pattern of optimum economic growth.
Further research on the process of price and quantity adjustment in a decentralised market economy has shown the instability of such processes, and my research interest has been concentrated upon the dynamic analysis of disequilibrium processes. Later, research has been extended to cover the problems of environmental disruption, economics of medicare, and social costs of automobiles.
