History Of Homo Economicus

WILSON, David

Routledge

Dixon, William

A key issue in economic discourse today is the relation (or lack of it) between economic behaviour and morality. Few (presumably) would want to deny that human beings are in some sense moral or ethical creatures, but the devil is in the detail. Should we think of economic behaviour as an essentially amoral process – a process adequately characterised by a means-ends rationality – into which any number of subjective ethical concerns or orientations may be intruded to give a particular action its determinate moral content? Or is it rather the case that our moral being runs deeper than this, in the sense that all of our behaviour – ‘economic’ or otherwise – is enabled or capacitated by a competence that is fundamentally ethical in character?   With new analyses of the work of Hobbes and Smith, Dixon and Wilson offer a fresh approach to the debate surrounding economics and morality with a novel discussion of the self in economic theory. This book calls for a change in the way that the relation between economic behaviour and morality is understood – from an understanding of morality as a kind of preference that informs certain types of other-regarding behaviour (the way that modern economics understands the relationship), to an idea of morality as a competence that enables or, rather, conditions the possibility of all forms of human behaviour, other-regarding or not. Offering a new insight on homo economicus, this book will be of great interest to all those interested in the history of economics and of economic thought.

"As Above, So Below" mysterious words of wisdom emerging from the mists of time. This expression is alleged to be the explanation for much of what takes place on Earth. Is it a tantalizing clue to the connection between the realms of spirit and flesh? In The Mystery of Babylon, William Dixon takes the reader back to the origin of spiritual rebellion in the present age back to ancient Babylon where a wicked king and queen plot the establishment of political and spiritual control over humanity, while at the same time establishing brutal warfare as a policy of government. Are the systems they devised still in operation? Follow two young lovers, Reza and Vashti, as they get caught up in the controlling web of intrigue spun by King Nimrod and his wife Semiramis. Join them as they discover the reality of the secret and ominous words of wisdom As Above, So Below!
