A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This volume is the first ever English translation of Part III of von Thünen`s famous 'Isolated State'. It deals with the optimum rotation period of woods - a central problem of capital theory which has been studied by many famous economists. Thünen's early approach to the problem compares very well with most of the later attempts.

À propos de l?auteur

JOHANN HEINRICH VON THÜNEN (1783-1850) was a prominent nineteenth-century economist, who is credited with a number of important anticipations of modern economic theory, such as the concepts of economic rent, diminishing returns, and marginal productivity. For the most of his life Thünen worked in isolation on his agricultural estate, Tellow, in Mecklenburg. According to Nobel Prize winner Paul Samuelson, Thünen 'belongs in the Pantheon with Leon Walras, John Stuart Mill, and Adam Smith'. Both the Tellow estate and Thünen`s grave, which has his famous formula for the natural wage engraved on it, can still be visited today.
