Enterprise Forms and Economic Efficiency
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-415-70295-9 (ISBN)
The book attempts to explain these questions from the viewpoint of "market failure" in the framework of standard microeconomic theory. In this analytical framework, it proposes an alternative system of business organization based upon consumer cooperatives and the market for their memberships, which can coexist consistently with the system of capitalist firms and the stock market within a single market economy.
The existing studies of the cooperative sector have been rather ideological. The analytical framework that is presented in this book helps promote scientific exploration of cooperative and other types of firms, which are indispensable and potentially promising constituents of our society.
Kazuhiko Mikami is a Professor of Economics at the University of Hyogo, Japan. His area of study ranges from economic systems to industrial organization and public economics. As a teacher, he has taught microeconomics and industrial organization.
