This title appears exactly 20 years after the publication of
Altruism, Morality and Economic Theory, an important volume edited
by E.S. Phelps which contains the proceeding of a conference where
social scientists and philosophers met to speculate on the roles
that altruism and morality play in shaping human behaviour and
economic institutions within our societies. Until recently this
discipline was considered of minor importance - now there is clear
evidence of its growing interest.This an important volume contains
the major articles on the economics of altruism published since
1975. The articles are grouped under 6 headings: the emergence of
altruistic behaviour, varieties of altruism, the relevance of
altruism and selfishness, altruism and allocation of resources,
evolutionary dynamics of altruism, extended rationality and
altruistic behaviour. The Economics of Altruism will be welcomed by
all those with an interest in economics, philosophy, psychology and
sociology.
