Meaningful Economics - Making the Science of Prosperity More Human

In Meaningful Economics, Bart J. Wilson argues that economic science is as much about purposes and human values as it is about incentives and self-interest. Moreover, he shows how the outcomes of our decisions (costs and benefits) and the origins of our decisions (motives and goals) can be understood in an integrated way. Including a novel theoretical framework, Meaningful Economics explains how three basic principles of economics--trade, specialization, and property--require meaning, values, and purpose.
