Introductuion -- 1. Adam Smith on self-interest -- 2. Jeremy Bentham on self-interest -- 3. John Stuart Mill on self-interest and the assumption of economic theories -- 4. Leon Walras’ idea of human nature and theory of property: free exchange, communism, and association -- 5. Self-interest in Marshall’s economic thinking -- 6. Otto Neurath’s theory of felicitology and socialization: the meaning of physicalism in social sciences -- 7. On the innate selfishness of evaluation in Mises -- 8. Frank Knight on self-interest -- 9. Karl Polanyi’s motive of economy and institution -- 10. Schrödinger’s concept of economy and institution -- 11. Hayek on interest- the finding of rules on Great Society -- 12. Altruism: how economists have dealt with unselfish actions -- 13. Can agent based modeling realize Adam Smith’s perspective? -- 14. Are social preferences just “enlightened” self-interests after all?-Three non-reductivist responses from behavioral economics in practice -- 15. Homo economic us under multiple pressures: Economics, other disciplines, and social reality.

This is the first book to describe the entire developmental history of the human aspects of economics. The issue of “self-interest” is discussed throughout, from pre-Adam Smith to contemporary neuroeconomics, representing a unique contribution to economics. Though the notion of self-interest has been interpreted in several ways by various schools of economics and economists since Smith first placed it at the heart of the field, this is the first book to focus on this important but overlooked topic. Traditionally, economic theory has presupposed that the core of human behavior is self-interest. Nevertheless, some economists, e.g. recent behavioral economists, have cast doubt on this “self-interested” explanation. Further, though many economists have agreed on the central role of self-interest in economic behavior, each economist’s positioning of self-interest in economic theory differs to some degree. This book helps to elucidate the position of self-interest in economic theory. Given its focus, it is a must-read companion, not only on the history of economic thought but also on economic theory. Furthermore, as today’s capitalism is increasingly causing people to wonder just where self-interest lies, it also appeals to general readers.
