About this Collection

Studies in Economic Theory was a collection of works edited by Laurence S. Moss and published by the Institute for Humane Studies in the mid- and late-1970s.

Many of the titles in this series will appear on the Online Library of Liberty with the kind permission of the copyright holders, the Institute for Humane Studies.
