Economics has paid little attention to the psychology of economic
behaviour, leading to somewhat simplistic assumptions about human
nature. The psychological aspects have typically been reduced to
standard utility theory, based on a narrow conception of
rationality and self-interest maximization. The contributions in
this volume, some focused on analytical models and methodology,
others on laboratory and field experiments, challenge these
assumptions, and provide novel and complex understandings of human
motivation and economic decision-making. With a pioneering
introduction by the book's two editors, this volume brings together
exciting contributions to a field that is rapidly growing in
influence and reach.

This book addresses itself to the relationship between the
ideological and material which has long occupied a primary place in
Marxist scholarship and is seen to be of central importance to
feminist analysis. This book looks at some aspects of the debate in
the context of Asia. In particular, it examines the role that
ideology can play both as a disabling and an enabling factor in the
lives of women seeking to earn a livliehood for themselves and
their families under conditions of poverty. The case studies relate
to a mixed set of Asian countries, with an associated diversity of
cultural and economic conditions. Haleh Afshar is also editor of
"Iran: A Revolution in Turmoil", "Women and Ideology" and "Women,
State and Ideology". Bina Agarwal is editor of "Structures of
Patriarchy: State, Community and Household in Modernising Asia" and
author of "Mechanisation in Indian Agriculture" and "Cold Hearths
and Barren Slopes: The Woodfuel Crisis in the Third World".
