t Generation Theory I also treat rate of return. This combined free growth theory with insights of Petty in 1662 and William Stanley Jevons in 1871. Petty’s idea was that each generation passes the baton to the next. Our investment horizon is the generation length. Its reciprocal, or one over that perio

The idea that we act out the biological imperative is clear in Petty and Malthus, and in the equilibrium wage theory of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, where pay converges to the level preserving the work force.

y. Economics and Biology Bioeconomics has meant economics informed by biology. I argued that this describes much or all of classical economics from Petty through Mill, then lapsed when the marginalists preferred to do without any explanations or justifications of tastes, and revived a century later to

There are inevitably errors and judgment biases in the national accounts and research assembled by Piketty and Zucman, more added by them, and more by me. These cautions will apply to later chapters as well. Chapter 4 Mill’s Idea 1/11/16 28 HOUSE_OVERSI

pression is that this exposure is not yet dangerous. But it needs watching. The best method to estimate aggregate adult human capital separately is Petty’s. It is present value of future human cash flow. That means pay less invested consumption. If] am right, meaning that Farr, Marshall and Kiker are w

Not that I think much of Piketty’s arguments. But his website with Zucman is as powerful a new resource for scholarship and the database
