the basic idea is that some economists have finally caught up with the psychologists and have gotten away from _a priori_ assertions about human decision-making and have produced a more complicated and more realistic one. Unfortunately, they still have a basically individualistic perspective. They thus ignore the way in which our biographies in society (including our practice) limit and shape our "preferences," attitudes, and ideologies. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
