The Bator and Mishan articles, as well as Graaff's book, are perhaps
the best suggestions. Let me add the following references:
For the older (pre-1930s) material:
G. Myrdal (1929, 1953) The Political Element in the Development of Economic
Theory. London: Routledge and Kegan Paul.
Hla Myint (1948) Theories of Welfare Economics. London:
which deal quite well with the early history of the subject.
For surveys concentrating on the more recent materials, there is the
very accessible elementary undergraduate text:
Robin Boadway and Neil Bruce (1984) Welfare Economics. Blackwell.
and the more advanced surveys collected in:
K.J. Arrow and M.D. Intriligator (1983) Handbook of Mathematical Economics,
Volume 3. Amsterdam: North-Holland.
and
J.J. Laffont (1988) Fundamentals of Public Economics. Cambridge, Mass: MIT
Press.
