Rationality in Economics from Shaun Hargreaves Heap

Abstract

The purpose of the book is to single out the different kinds of rationality throughout the social sciences utilities: the desires (goals, preferences, ends), the beliefs (knowledge, information), and the action framework. Rationality in an economic perspective is how we make a choice or preference, and what makes us prefer one thing to another. Let's see what Shaun Hargreaves Heap has to say on this issue.
