对“理性经济人”假说的几点质疑

Oppugning the Hypothesis of Rational Economic Man

新古典经济学继承和发展了斯密的经济人假说,充分论证了“经济人”的理性是如何追求并达到自利目的的。“理性经济人”使得经济学理论研究更趋“科学”化成为可能。然细究“理性经济人”的内涵,我们发觉颇值推敲。

The neo-classical economics theory inherits and develops Adam Smith＇s theory of economic man, and fully demonstrates how the rationality of economic man pursues and reaches its goal of egoism. It makes the theory of economics potentially more scientific. But we have to be cautious when we come to study the connotation of it.
