      abstract = {This is the first book to describe the entire  developmental history of the human aspects of economics.  The issue of "self-interest" is discussed throughout, from  pre-Adam Smith to contemporary neuroeconomics, representing  a unique contribution to economics. Though the notion of  self-interest has been interpreted in several ways by  various schools of economics and economists since Smith  first placed it at the heart of the field, this is the  first book to focus on this important but overlooked topic.  Traditionally, economic theory has presupposed that the  core of human behavior is self-interest. Nevertheless, some  economists, e.g. recent behavioral economists, have cast  doubt on this "self-interested" explanation. Further,  though many economists have agreed on the central role of  self-interest in economic behavior, each economists  positioning of self-interest in economic theory differs to  some degree. This book helps to elucidate the position of  self-interest in economic theory. Given its focus, it is a  must-read companion, not only on the history of economic  thought but also on economic theory. Furthermore, as todays  capitalism is increasingly causing people to wonder just  where self-interest lies, it also appeals to general  readers},
