The economic model of behaviour is fundamental not only in economic
theory, but also in modern approaches of other social sciences,
above all in political science and law. This book provides a
comprehensive treatise of the general model, its philosophical and
methodological foundations and its applications in different fields.
In addition to the basic model, extensions to its assumptions are
examined to account for complex applications like low-cost
situations with moral behaviour. Finally, the book takes a broader
perspective by evaluating the impact of the model on economic policy
and on the development of the field of social science as a whole,
such as the competition between individualistic and collectivist
approaches.
