The Political Economy of Tolerable Survival (1981) deals with economic issues such as inflation and unemployment in their social and political context and attempts both to isolate and suggest solutions to the problems which confront society. Worsening economic conditions lead to social tensions which are potentially politically disruptive, and this book suggests a varied course of solutions to social and economic stresses, assessing what is tolerable both from a moral angle and in terms of political freedom.
