El legado de Samuelson. La preferencia revelada

The prolific work of the recently deceased Paul A. Samuelson makes a significant contribution to several areas of economic theory. He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Economics for doing more than any other contemporary economist to raise the level of scientific analysis in economic theory. He is also well-known as the author of several influential textbooks which are among all-time best-sellers. Although it is not easy to highlight only one of his contributions, over seventy years ago his revealed preference analysis opened a fertile field of research that went beyond the scope of consumer theory, thus creating a bridge that leads to reconciling economic theory with other social sciences.0.100 JCR (2010) Q4, 122/132 SociologyUE
