The New Economic Mind
What do children think banks are for? What are the commonly-held beliefs about the causes of unemployment? How should scarce resources for health and education be distributed? What makes people avoid tax?
This completely revised and updated version of The Economic Mind (1986) is an examination of the social psychology of economic behaviour. The authors investigate what goes on inside our heads when we engage in the 'business' of life, examining our beliefs about the causes of poverty, wealth and unemployment, and attitudes to saving and gambling, taxation and public expenditure from a social psychological perspective.
The New Economic Mind examines in detail the changing economic minds of the people inhabiting the new market economies of Central and Eastern Europe, and features expanded coverage of the ethics and morals of the market.
