Book Synopsis New Foundations of Cost-Benefit Analysis by : Matthew D. Adler
Book excerpt: In this book, the authors reconceptualize cost-benefit analysis, arguing that its objective should be overall well-being rather than economic efficiency. This book not only places cost-benefit analysis on a firmer theoretical foundation, but also has many practical implications for how government agencies should undertake cost-benefit studies.
