'The new economics has arrived, a 'humanomics' that leaves the humans in. It banishes the sociopath known as Max U without repopulating the economy with idiots to be nudged by overlords. Humanomics combines the sacred and the profane, just as we do. It is a scientific, and ethical, triumph.' Deirdre Nansen McCloskey, University of Illinois at Chicago, author of Bourgeois Equality: How Ideas, Not Capital or Institutions, Enriched the World 'There are really three significant treatises in this book: first, building on their famous experimental work, Vernon L. Smith and Bart J. Wilson offer an exciting, theoretical framework for economics and the human sciences more generally. They do so, second, by offering a 'sympathetic retrospective hearing' of Adam Smith's (other) great book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments. Third, they offer a new philosophy of economics that does justice to their own practice and invites us all of to become participants in what they call humanomics. There are big and bold ideas packed into this monograph; yet the writing is accessible and down to earth. It's the kind of book you will be happy to assign to students, and while teaching it you will discover lots of urgent, new research projects.' Eric Schliesser, University of Amsterdam 'This marvelous book shows how engaging Adam Smith can help us to 'humanize' social science for the twenty-first century. Economists in particular will find much food for thought in its novel approach to using models derived from Smith's ethics to rethink many familiar and less-familiar experimental results. But it's not only economists who will profit from it; indeed anyone interested in what it means to be a human being living in two realms at once - the economic and the personal, the self-regarding and the other-regarding - will benefit from the authors' masterful illumination of how our human world is in fact 'moral all the way down'.' Ryan Patrick Hanley, Marquette University, Wisconsin and author of Love's Enlightenment: Rethinking Charity in Modernity '... the authors of the book are world-class specialists, who 'have been reading and citing Adam Smith's 1759 The Theory of Moral Sentiments for well in excess of a decade' ... one simply cannot miss reading it.'

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
