He stressed our defective telescopic faculty, mortallity and weak linkages over time and argued that the present generation would consequently devote too few resources to investment, particularly in human capital. He linked his argument with the then contemporary controversies about natural resource conservation and about eugenics. This ‘Cambridge tradition' holds that issues of generational justice leave an important role for the state and cannot be resolved simply at the level of the individual or the family. © 1996 Academic Press Limited Articles nationallicence Cambridge Journal of Economics Oxford University Press 20/5(1996-09), 585-597 0309-166X 20:5<585 1996 20 cameco https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.cje.a013636 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.cje.a013636 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Collard David NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Cambridge Journal of Economics Oxford University Press 20/5(1996-09), 585-597 0309-166X 20:5<585 1996 20 cameco Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
