Reviews

“Pioneering work that usefully broadens our common understanding of Economics itself.” Kent Calder, Director, Reischauer Center for East Asian Studies, Johns Hopkins University SAIS, USA “Mainstream economics assumes, most of the time, man as homo economicus, which is very convenient to build up an elegant scientific discipline. Accordingly, economics is often praised as ""queen of social sciences"". But, if economics integrate more diverse human motives, we can expand the scope and the depth of mainstream economics toward more fruitful humane economics. This book rigorously and convincingly agues, probably for the first time in the literature, that this is the direction of economics to expand.” Nobuhiro Suzuki, Professor, University of Tokyo, Japan
