Fred has a long vita with many articles ...Kevin,<br /> <br />Fred has a long vita with many articles and books. He was one of the first comparative economists to write on how social and cultural systems influence economic systems. His "Corporatism as an Economic System: A Review Essay" in the Journal of Comparative Economics, 1988, is an excellent example.<br /><br />Four excelelnt books are <br /><br />The Red and the Green: The Rise and Fall of Collectivized Agriculture in Marxist Regimes, Princeton U. Press, originally 1992, pb ed. 2014 (still selling). This is without doubt the definitive work on collectivized agriculture, period, Fred at his top as a comparative economics scholar.<br /><br />Economic Evolution and Structure: The Impact of Complexity on the U.S. Economic System, Cambridge U. Press, 1996, where Fred does the complexity bit, with pretty good analysis of a variety of trends.<br /><br />Economic Systems of Foraging, Agricultural, and Industrial Societies, Cambridge U. Press, 2005, where Fred goes big picture, big time. They guy has historical as well as multi-disciplinary sweep.<br /><br />Capitalism Reassessed, Cambridge U. Press, 2006, in which he looks closely at 22 OECD economies, bringing in cultural and social factors as well as the usual sort of stuff.<br /><br />There is much more accessible by googling.rosserjb@jmu.eduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300046915843554101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-33829146519760417852015-10-26T11:43:56.361-04:002015-10-26T11:43:56.361-04:00Barkley; very interesting, as usual.

As an aside, I can't see Von Braun's name without hearing (and singing along with) the great Tom Lehrer: "Ven the rockets go up, who cares vere they come down?/ "That's not my department," says Werner Von Braun.<br /><br />PS: What papers/books of Pryor's do you recommend most highly?kevin quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880872194080353414noreply@blogger.com
