Our elaborate market exchange system owes its existence not to our
calculating brain or insatiable self-centeredness, but rather to
our sophisticated and nuanced human sociality and to the inherent
rationality built into our emotions. The modern economic system is
helped a lot more than hindered by our innate social instincts that
support our remarkable capacity for building formal and informal
institutions. The book integrates the growing body of experimental
evidence on human nature scattered across a variety of disciplines
from experimental economics to social neuroscience into a coherent
and original narrative about the extent to which market (or
impersonal exchange) relations are reflective of the basic human
sociality that was originally adapted to a more tribal existence.
An accessible resource, this book will appeal to students of all
areas of economics, including Behavioral Economics and
Neuro-Economics, Microeconomics, and Political Economy.
