Sufficient Reason

"This book is without rival--a major modern statement of pragmatism."--Warren Samuels, Michigan State University "Professor Bromley has provided us with a very stimulating and useful treatment of the economics of institutions. In doing so, he has filled a significant gap in a literature too often caught up in the 'either-or' of orthodoxy and heterodoxy."--Steven G. Medema, University of Colorado at Denver "We all know that welfare economics is far more than cost-benefit analysis; but few economists have ventured beyond. Dan Bromley's new book, "Sufficient Reason," does so, and shows how pragmatism can help us in applying economics to policy. The result is a challenging and insightful foundation for a new institutional welfare economics."--David Colander, Middlebury College
