摘要:"Economics is often presented as the study of the impersonal forces of supply and demand and the laws relating to them. Rational Economic Man is the agent generating these forces. This book takes quite a different approach, presenting the individual as a political being and a responsible actor. It proposes the Political Economic Person as the central actor and the Political Economic Organization, rather than firms exclusively driven by profit maximization, as the basis for understanding corporate behaviour. Ideologies, worldviews, beliefs and scientific perspectives have all to be taken into account if economics is to deal successfully with the social and environmental problems we face."--Jacket.
