My own criticism ofthe joyless economy
The Joyless Economy focused on the boredom of the idle rich and neglected the boredom of the idle and idled poor. However, their boredom is much more serious than what the book dealt with, because it is chronic and often incurable. It usually begins with the neglect of destitute children who never learn how to concentrate on learning in school, become unruly and often end up unemployable, and have no better way than violence to release their ener…

The Joyless Economy
Abstract Originally published in 1976, this classic work helped to establish the legitimacy of understanding economic behaviour in psychological terms. Its central theme was that, despite the economic abundance that Americans enjoyed in the mid-twentieth century, they were at heart dissatisfied with much of their lives. Mainstream economics could not account for this kind of reaction and Scitovsky sought to explain it in theories that combined ec…

The Benefits of Asymmetric Markets
Economists are often so mesmerized by the magic of perfect competition that they neglect or fail to notice other, equally important achievements of the real market economy around us, most of which seem to result from monopoly tempered by competition and competition tempered by monopoly. Here, we drop the one assumption underlying general equilibrium theory that does perhaps the most violence to reality: that all economic agents possess all the ma…
Pricetakers' Plenty
Capitalists in the pricemaker's position protect the pricetakers facing them from being buffeted by economic fluctuations, and competition among them provides pricetakers with market information and other valuable marketing facilities not provided under perfect competition. The nature of all those benefits and the conditions that favored their creation in product markets are analyzed, and the reasons why they failed to develop in labor markets an…

Asymmetries in Economics
Market Power and Inflation
I would like to present to you an explanation of inflation in terms of the market power of the buyers and sellers whose behaviour determines prices and wages. That has been done before, of course. A good example is that most simpleminded explanation of all, which blames inflation on the overweening power of labour in the labour market. My argument is only a little less simpleminded than that; and while it mostly consists of well tried and well te…

Inequalities
The paper discusses which inequalities can, and which cannot, be measured by the economist's data. Among the inequalities of wealth, income and consumption, the second is shown to be the most relevant, although it must be corrected for the redistributive effects of taxation and transfer payments and then summed with both the distribution of public goods and services and the distribution of freely rendered non market private services. Beyond the d…

Progress in the Theory of Economic Progress
The problem of economic development was among the main preoccupations of the classical economists; and Karl Marx, Max Weber, and their followers continued to be interested in it. The Anglo-Saxon economists and their followers, however, during the century preceding the Second World War, all but forgot about economic development—perhaps because they took it for granted. The growth of most of the advanced economies was impressive enough to be taken …

this country. Measured by admissions to live performances of legitimate theater and music, our art consumption per head is less than a half of West Germany's and Austria's, little better than a half of Norway's and Switzerland's, and less than a third of such East European countries as Hungary, Czechoslovakia and East Germany. In a cultural center like San Francisco, the past season's more than 1.8 million admissions are very impressive when rela…
