It shows that they all share the common feature of intentional physical transformation of something external to the agent, at some point in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book opens with a discussion of various theoretical traditions within economics, spanning mainstream and heterodox perspectives, and problems with production definitions in use today. Next, the author outlines various definitions in a more formal manner and provides a discussion on measurement and the production boundary. Unproductive work is redefined as socially reproductive, i.e. such that would not be performed on a Robinson Crusoe Island. Finally, the volume applies the new conceptual framework to various historical cases and discusses the future of production, work and consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis essential volume will be of interest to scholars of economic philosophy and methodology, the history of economic thought, economic history and national accounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542339444974,"sku":"9780367522254","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/economic-philosophy-of-production-work-and-consumption","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
