Ranging over the period from 1915 to 1998, the articles in this volume explore the foundations of neoclassical theory and discuss preference and the structure of preference. The contributors investigate extensions and modifications to the basic neoclassical theory, including consumption as production, intertemporal choice and the problems of uncertainty and risk. This anthology offers a comprehensive overview and is a useful reference source for consumer theory.
