Book Description
Ludwig Lachmann in 1956 set out to correct the problem that the economics profession had no coherent and working understanding of capital, a concept so integral to economic science and yet not explored at length since the takeover of macroeconomics by Keynesian theory. The result was his most lasting contribution to economic theory. He expands on the ideas of Boehm-Bawerk and Hayek to create a picture of the capital goods sector that incorporates all essential Austrian insights on the nature of the market process. His writing is lucid and sophisticated. Mises was impressed by this book and Rothbard drew on it for his own theory of the business cycle - having cited it often. It remains a seminal study written while he was at the height of his intellectual powers.

Corporate Finance and Capital Structure
Author: Kentaro AsaiPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000320499
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
A concise guide for students to quickly grasp the essentials of capital structure theory, providing them with a “shortcut” to the comprehension of important frameworks and a “story” that allows them to see what each model is motivated by and aimed at, especially in relation to competing models. Thereby, the book exclusively allows readers to learn capital structure theory in an efficient and unified manner. In this book, the author captures, in a succinct way, the key frameworks that persistently appear in the corporate finance arena, such as the neutrality of capital structure in a frictionless capital market, trade-off theory, agency theory, security design, and information asymmetry. Suitable both as a core textbook for post-graduate or doctoral level students and as a concise guide for practitioners and regulators.
Time and Money
Author: Roger W GarrisonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134895909
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Time and Money argues persuasively that the troubles which characterise modern capital-intensive economies, particularly the episodes of boom and bust, may best be analysed with the aid of a capital-based macroeconomics. The primary focus of this text is the intertemporal structure of capital, an area that until now has been neglected in favour of labour and money-based macroeconomics.
The Capital Structure Decision

Pages : 230
Book Description
In 1958 an academic paper on corporate finance written by two professors (Merton Miller and Frances Modigliani, who were later awarded the Nobel prize for their research efforts) was published in The American Economic Review. One prime conclusion of their paper was that the exact form of a firm's capital structure did not affect the firm's value. Later papers by the same two authors and by many others modified the assumptions and changed this conclusion. We now think that capital structure decisions do affect a firm's value and corporate managers should understand better the financing alternatives that are available. One of the most important financial decisions is the decision to buy or lease assets. The leasing industry is large and getting larger. Unfortunately, it is very easy for a firm to evaluate incorrectly lease alternatives (see Chapter 12). The capital structure decision is one of the three most important financial decisions that management make (the distribution of earnings and the capital budgeting decisions are the other two contenders). Managers should increase their understanding of capital structure alternatives and remember that choosing the best capital structure is an art and not an exact simple calculation. But applying the art can be improved with understanding.
