In standard economic theory human beings are portrayed as selfish money-maximizing actors. This book investigates the conditions under which people deviate from this prediction and when they are prepared to contribute to the common good in more altruistic fashion.
Industry Reviews
'The author explores the issues of self-interest versus pro-social behavior through and examination of the willingness of individuals to donate to public goods. . . Meier's book is a succinct statement with empirical examination of the hypothesis about non-selfish motives. If you are feeling altruistic, I recommend that you buy a copy of this book to share with your economist friends and colleagues - a dose of the real world never hurts.' -- Ronnie J. Phillips, Journal of Economic Issues
