The Complicity of Economics

Julie A. Nelson

Forum for Social Economics, 2018, vol. 47, issue 2, 214-219

Abstract: Economics has long promoted an image of agents who profit and consume for their own individual benefit without any kind of responsibility for each other, and who rationally evaluate means but not ends. This contribution explores the relationship between the expanding influence of the homo economicus image and the rise of Donald Trump.
