In a classic study, Harold Lasswell and Abraham Kaplan have endeavored to summarize under eight headings all the major substantive values to the allocation of which political processes are relevant. The author discusses these—power, wealth, deference or respect, well‐being, affection, skill, enlightenment, and righteousness—in terms of interpersonal values, partially autonomous values, and a paradoxical combination of the two, and relates his discussion to game theory and to the economic theory of inflation and deflation.
