Identity, Capabilities, and Changing Economics: Reflexive, Adaptive, Socially Em

Description: Identity, Capabilities, and Changing Economics by John B. Davis Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Upending traditional mainstream view, this book applies identity analysis to economics to show the limitations of Homo economicus. It distinguishes different forms of peoples social identities and advances policies for combating social inequality. It also shows how economics is value-entangled and examines forces influencing change in economics. Publisher Description Mainstream economics assumes economic agents act and make decisions to maximize their utility. This model of economic behavior, based on rational choice theory, has come under increasing attack in economics because it does not accurately reflect the way people behave and reason. The shift towards a more realistic account of economic agents has been mostly associated with the rise of behavioral economics, which views individuals through the lens of bounded rationality. Identity, Capabilities, and Changing Economics goes further and uses identity analysis to build on this critique of the utility conception of individuals, arguing it should be replaced by a conception of economic agents in an uncertain world as socially embedded and identified with their capabilities. Written by one of the worlds leading philosophers of economics, the book develops a new approach to economics theory of the individual, explaining individuals as adaptive and reflexive rather than utility maximizing.
