By: Calabresi, Guido [author]Contributor(s): Philip Bobbitt [co-author]Material type: Text

TextPublication details: New York : Norton, c1978Edition: First editionDescription: 252 pages ; 22 cmISBN: 039305649XSubject(s): POLICY SCIENCES | DECISION MAKING | RESOURCE ALLOCATIONLOC classification: H 61 .C35 1978

Contents:

1. Introduction -- 2. Pure allocation approaches -- 3. Modified political devices -- 4. Modified markets -- 5. Three features of tragic allocation -- 6. The tragic dilemma: mixtures and approaches -- 7. The tragic dilemma and cycles.

Summary: This book offers a general theoretical account of how societies cope with decisions which they regard as tragic. Whatever contributions I may have made to this account derive principally from discussions with Guido Calabresi beginning in 1974 and continuing up to the latest impassioned telephone call. Beyond my acknowledgment of this rare and rewarding collaboration I am indebted to so many people for aid in the preparation of the manuscript that I risk embarrassing omission by naming a few.
