| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | <br/>Should Chicago build a new airport, or India build a new steel mill? Should higher education expand, or water supplies be improved? These are typical questions about which cost-benefit analysis has something to say. It is the mail tool that economics provides for analysing problems of social choice. It also provides a useful vehicle for understanding the practical value of welfare economics. |
