Abstract: Abstract Self-control is central to human success. Neoclassical economics posits a cohesive, rational brain that always picks the best outcome. Behavioral economics documents self-control problems and suggests ‘nudges.’ Evolutionary biology explains the source of self-control struggles. Based on an evolutionary understanding, we present a comprehensive taxonomy of self-control strategies.
