This book proposes a new interpretation of Alexis de Tocqeville that views him first and foremost as a social scientist rather than as a political theorist. Elster proposes a novel reading of Democracy in America offers a reading of Ancien Regime and the Revolution. Elster argues that Tocqueville's main claim to our attention today rests on the large number of exportable causal mechanisms to be found in his work, many of which are still worthy of further exploration.Cambridge, 2009; 202 pp.; EN; index; hbVan/List Price € 23,99 Voor/Our Price € 8,99Uw prijsvoordeel/You save: 63 %

Competition between firms is usually the most effective way of delivering economic efficiency and what consumers want. However, there is a balance to be struck. Firms must not be over-regulated and so be hampered in their development of innovative products and new strategies. Nor must they completely free to satisfy a natural preference for monopoly. This book demonstrates how economics is used, and sometimes abused, in competition cases in practical competition policy across Europe.Cambridge, 2009; 492 pp.; EN; index; pbVan/List Price € 49,95 Voor/Our Price € 17,95Uw prijsvoordeel/You save: 64 %
