Evolutionary Economics and Human Nature

Description

Many of these works are placed in a Darwinian, evolutionary perspective, with the imperative that the study of human nature must be consistent with our understanding of human evolution, and should consider how human beings are moulded by cultural and institutional influences. Naturally, Darwin's own view of human nature is explored, undermining the mistaken notion that Darwinism promotes human nature as greedy, uncooperative and self-seeking.
