Civil Society

Chapter 10 in Microeconomics, 2014, pp 193-213 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract “There is no such thing as societies, only individuals and their families,” said former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Most social scientists would disagree; for them the importance of the myriad ways people come together in society is obvious. (One type of way, incidentally, is through families.) In any practical discussion of economic policy, social institutions are likely to play a significant role. Whether the groups in question are religious denominations, unions, human rights or environmental advocacy organizations or some other group of people with a purpose, their impact has to be taken into account.
