In this novel introduction to modern microeconomic theory, Samuel Bowles returns to the classical economists' interest in the wealth and poverty of nations and people, the workings of the institutions of capitalist economies, and the coevolution of individual preferences and the structures of markets, firms, and other institutions. Using recent advances in evolutionary game theory, contract theory, behavioral experiments, and the modeling of dynamic processes, he develops a theory of how economic institutions shape individual behavior, and how institutions evolve due to individual actions, technological change, and chance events. Topics addressed include institutional innovation, social preferences, nonmarket social interactions, social capital, equilibrium unemployment, credit constraints, economic power, generalized increasing returns, disequilibrium outcomes, and path dependency.

Each chapter is introduced by empirical puzzles or historical episodes illuminated by the modeling that follows, and the book closes with sets of problems to be solved by readers seeking to improve their mathematical modeling skills. Complementing standard mathematical analysis are agent-based computer simulations of complex evolving systems that are available online so that readers can experiment with the models. Bowles concludes with the time-honored challenge of "getting the rules right," providing an evaluation of markets, states, and communities as contrasting and yet sometimes synergistic structures of governance. Must reading for students and scholars not only in economics but across the behavioral sciences, this engagingly written and compelling exposition of the new microeconomics moves the field beyond the conventional models of prices and markets toward a more accurate and policy-relevant portrayal of human social behavior.

发得太快了,还没有把想说的话说出来    我还真不知道什么叫"行行经济"得了解,了解
,,,,,以前觉得只要肯吃苦耐劳,就可以过上好的生活(也许是老一辈的思想)可现在觉得,,,,,现实中并不是这样的,,,,,社会在逼着你发疯,发狂,想生存下去就不仅要动手,还要动脑.只是一味的埋头苦干是没有用的.现在种田国家都要给补贴费,可见农业发展是想当的落后,,,,,都以信息,经济化,,,,,,的今天,超越就不太可能,但是一定要穷追不舍...(呵呵,我也不知道在说什么,胡乱顶一下)

帅子，我对行为经济学非常感兴趣。目前的积累不多，能否给我推荐几本入门读物。
