About this ebook
The basic reference is made by the reflections of those economists, preeminently John Kenneth Galbraith, who criticize the removal from the neoclassical economy of the “power” dimension. We have also referred to the criticism that Galbraith, among others, makes to the assumption of neoclassical economists that the “motivation” in exchanges is solely linked to the reward, to the money obtained in the exchange. In the construction of a mathematical model we paid great attention to its usability in field testing.

The book
The field of study of this paper is the analysis of the exchange between two subjects. Circumscribed to the micro dimension, it is however expanded with respect to standard economic theory by introducing both the dimension of power and the motivation to exchange.
The basic reference is made by the reflections of those economists, preeminently John Kenneth Galbraith, who criticize the removal from the neoclassical economy of the power
dimension. We have also referred to the criticism that Galbraith, among others, makes to the assumption of neoclassical economists that the motivation
in exchanges is solely linked to the reward, to the money obtained in the exchange. In the construction of a mathematical model we paid great attention to its usability in field testing.

The Significance of Power
in Exchanges
Foreword
The short essay that follows does not claim to be a rigorous academic work. It questions concepts such as power
, motivation
and welfare functions
behind which there is a vast literature in sociology, psychology and economics, which is largely unexplored by the author.
Nevertheless, in the hope of providing some meaningful suggestions, a formal elaboration of the mechanism that governs exchanges in simple situations that involve only two individuals is proposed below.
The market has been theorized to overcome the direct exchange between two people, but many of these exchanges are not realized through the market, but just between two subjects.
Attention is focused on cases in which there is an "imbalance of power" between the contracting parties. There are many such cases, particularly in those situations where authority prevails in its violent forms: blackmail and corruption.
A meaningful example is the assignment of a contract by a public body to a private company, without resorting – by necessity or political opportunity – to tenders or auctions to choose
