Summary: "In this book the author, an eminent mathematical economist, provides a significant and highly stimulating approach to rethinking both the theory of the firm and the relation of the individual firm to total economic behavior. Boulding's approach is through assets and the balance sheet rather than through income and the income account. A Reconstruction of Economics represents his attempt to overcome two major weaknesses of economic theory: the defects which exist in Keynesian macroeconomics, and the unsatisfactory nature of the theory of the firm based on the Chamberlin-Robinson approach." -- From the back cover.
