Meir Kohn (Economics), "The Myth of 'Economic Man'"
This is the fifth in a series of talks by Prof. Kohn (Economics) in a year-long lecture series sponsored by the Political Economy Project. Thursday April 17 at 6 pm in Rocky 1.
In conventional economics, people are assumed to be isolated calculating machines. In the real world, people cooperate with others, and are guided by emotions and entrepreneurship as well as calculation. To understand the economy and to guide policy, we must take these qualities of real people into account.
