First edition of the Nobel Prize-winning economist's modern classic. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To John Rogers, good to hear of your appreciation Oliver Williamson." Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Mike McIver. Rare and desirable signed and inscribed.
This long-awaited sequel to the modem classic "Markets and Hierarchies" develops and extends Williamson's innovative use of transaction cost economics as an approach to studying economic organization by applying it to work and labor as well as the corporation itself. In addition, Williamson explores its growing implications for public policy, including its potential influence on antitrust and merger guidelines, labor policy, and SEC and public utility regulations.
