This volume redresses the balance by incorporating the psychology of human desire into economic analysis. This book constructs a new model of economic circulation based on a new, flow-like concept of utility: diminishing utility. This concept is an expression of the inevitable decline in the level of utility that follows after consumption. By using this concept, the study analyzes the direct relationship between human psychology and economic fluctuation."--BOOK JACKET UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0643/2006041637-b.html ER -
