Abstract

This book reviews the antinomy of rationality and selfishness raised from egoism, though rationality and selfishness are understood as basic evolutionary dynamics of humans and other organisms in both classical economics and evolutionary biology. Based on the research and a comparison with human’s social cooperative behavior, the author presents his belief that the social cooperative system, in its essence, cooperation and conflict are of uncertain stochasticity resulting from their intrinsic asymmetric interaction between cooperative partners. The book then discusses limitations of Newton’s methodology of monism in both biology and social science. The understanding of the asymmetric and uncertain characteristics found in cooperation system needs perspective of quantum physics of pluralism. At the end of the book, the author undertakes a review of consistency of Newtonian and monism philosophy and the links between quantum physics and pluralism philosophy.

Abstract

This book explores financial crime and corruption in Romanian society based on a community pulse study. It examines the main behavioral patterns of Romanian society in relation to financial crime variables such as tax compliance, tax morale, corruption in public institutions, and money laundering. The authors also investigate how various demographic aspects (e.g., age, gender, region, professional status, education, etc.) are associated with financial crime. The results of the enclosed survey help policy makers consider best practices in financial governance to reduce the level of financial crime in the region.

Abstract

Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we all are susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder. Our mistakes make us poorer and less healthy; we often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself. Thaler and Sunstein invite us to enter an alternative world, one that takes our humanness as a given. They show that by knowing how people think, we can design choice environments that make it easier for people to choose what is best for themselves, their families, and their society. Using colorful examples from the most important aspects of life, Thaler and Sunstein demonstrate how thoughtful & choice architecture& can be established to nudge us in beneficial directions without restricting freedom of choice. 'Nudge' offers a unique new take& from neither the left nor the right& on many hot-button issues, for individuals and governments alike. This is one of the most engaging and provocative books to come along in many years.
