Just Price Theory

<b>This book presents an original theory of the just price and it is a</b><b> welcome addition to scholarship on a radically underdeveloped field.</b><br/> <br/>This work reassesses the age-old idea that there is a just price of things one that goes beyond the Scholastic tradition of the just price and its exclusive concern with commutative justice.
