What is Cost-benefit Analysis (Studies in Economics) about?

My debts to others are, literally, too numerous to mention. Many of my working partners will see sections that owe much to their influence. Other colleagues may note passages in which I have especially gone out of my way to explain and defend views which I know they disapproved of, and may still do so. However, while not implicated in the errors that may remain, I must record enormous gratitude to Chris Nash for many years of 'internal' debate on cost-benefit, and to my good friend Jean-Philippe Barde of the OECD, Paris, for insisting always that technique without relevance explains rather too much of the disrepute that academic economists bring on themselves. The text was written during my last year at Aberdeen University. But for Winnie Sinclair, an embodied technological revolution in herself, this and so much else would simply never have appeared. I am forever grateful.
