This paper discusses the importance of Zannetos’ 1966 book for the development of maritime economic thought. The main contributions of the book are recounted, and the empirical work in the book is reviewed. The analysis of the present paper is a citation research on the maritime economics literature that refers to the book. Of the 42 papers in the set, about one-third refers to the book in general. A total of 35 papers refer to one or more elements of the book, with an equal number of references to: (1) the term structure of freight rates; (2) the empirical findings on the form of the supply curve; and (3) on the verification of his results. The general conclusion of the citation analysis is that, apparently, a number of elements of his work are still very valid for current maritime economics thinking, while maritime economists have disregarded several other elements. The latter seems unjustified for some of the business structure observations that are made in the book, such as the notion that the ship is the firm, and the elasticity of expectations. The former observation is the basis for virtually all empirical work in maritime economics that is based on individual contract data (all freight rate analysis is of this nature), and the second is the basis for the analysis of investment behaviour in shipping, investigations of cyclicality and so on. Zannetos can definitely be seen as the initiator of the important field of term structure analysis in maritime economics. In addition to this, there are several topics in the 1966 book that are as yet unexplored, and deserve empirical scrutiny. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents a list of received and selected books on economics, which include "The Economics of the Welfare State," by N. Barr.

This article introduces several books on economics. The book "On Economics and the Canadian Bishops," by Block Walter discusses the principle of preferential option for the oppressed and priority of labor over capital upon which the report is based and highlights difficulties associated with them. The book criticizes the strategies proposed in the report regarding the cure of unemployment rather than inflation, the industrial strategy of low technology and high labor intensity, wage and price controls, welfare and the role of labor unions. "Religion, Economics and Social Thought," edited by Walter Block and Irving Hexham comprises twelve papers with comments, discussions or replies presented at an International Symposium on Religion, Economics and Social Thought in Vancouver, British Columbia, in August 1982. The Roman Catholic view is presented in a discussion of classical social doctrine in the Roman Catholic church and recent Roman Catholic teaching--a shift to the left. "Counting the Cost: The Economics of Christian Stewardship," by Robin Kendrick Clay describes the tools of economic analysis and explains how they can be used in the light of Christian faith and ethics. The book examines the nature and necessity of economic choice wherever private and social wants outstrip available resources.

This article focuses on books related to general works, theory and its history. About the book "Principles of Economics," by Raymond T. Bye, it says that among the dozens of recent textbooks on Principles of Economics, this book stands out as one of the few that offer anything really new or significant. It is not put out as an original contribution in economic theory, yet there are a number of significant ideas in the book which the reviewer has not seen elsewhere. There are some points at which the author will meet criticism. The inclusion of land as a kind of capital, while devoting separate chapter to land and capital, and to rent and interest, will be confusing, at least to economists of classical training. The author admits that the value, of the incomes derived from them, land and capital, cannot be explained on the same principles. Professor Bye at several points makes a distinction between pure and applied economics, and seems to intend that his principles shall cover the former, while a later volume will take up the problem of applied economics. The article also provides information about new books on the subject.
