Ross B. Emmett

Abstract: One who pursues the study of economic theory with any pretense of doing more than scratch the surface is quickly compelled to consider the relations between economic behavior and value judgments in the “higher” fields of esthetics, ethics and religion. Directly and concretely, he is forced into this consideration of the problem of behavior in its broader aspects by two courses or paths, two specific problems. The first is his dealing with the history of doctrine, and the second is utility theory, or any attempt to formulate a theory of consumption in whatever terms. We glance at the two, in this order.
