Homo Economicus Swinging Back - The Ceasing Free-Rider Problem
(No ratings yet)
Loading ...
Traditional economic models assume that people are self-interested in the narrow sense. If “homo economicus” - the stereotypical rational actor in these models - finds a wallet on the sidewalk, he keeps the cash inside. He doesn’t leave tips after dining in restaurants that he will never visit again. And he would never vote in […]

George Galloway:
“I could run through the world now, tyranny by tyranny and virtually every one of them is backed by the United States. It only stays in power, because of the United States.

I was bitterly disappointed by the outcome of the England-Portugal game. But was even more surprised by the lack of dignity in the comments of certain elder statemen of the game or The three grumpy old men…
You know the guys seating atop of the balcony during the Muppet show. True legends like ‘Wrighty’, ‘Shearo’ should […]
