No 2025-04, Working Papers and Research from Marquette University, Center for Global and Economic Studies and Department of Economics

Abstract: Compares the mainstream and Institutional and evolutionary economics views of individual and collective behavior. Describes the methodological assumptions for each. Distinguishes the two opposed approaches conceptions of time they employ. Explains the role social identity applies in explaining two opposed approaches adopt different conceptions of time. Closes with an explanatory dilemma the subject creates.
