An Introduction To The Welfare Economics

This book is a product of many years of my teaching and learning experience at different UG and PG Govt. colleges in the state of Haryana. There is no such book of Welfare Economics available in the market where students of B.A. Economics (Hons.) & M.A. can find the whole syllabus for the preparation of final examinations. Students have to consult a number of books, papers, articles, journals etc. to cover the entire course of study of Welfare Economics-I and Welfare Economics-II for B. A. Economics (Hons.) semester-III and semester-IV respectively. This necessitated the publication of this book entitled-‘AN INTRODUCTION TO THE WELFARE ECONOMICS’ so that students can have entire course of study at one place. Students from rural areas will find it very comfortable as language used in this book is very simple and clear. The contribution of some eminent economists like- Marshall, Pigou, Pareto, Hicks, Kaldor, Skitovsky, Samuelson, Bergson, Little and Arrow has immensely influenced my understanding and interest in the subject of welfare economics.
