Abstract

La teoria dell'Homo Oeconomicus ha fornito una visione formalizzata dell'uomo che, dominato da una natura tendenzialmente egoista, agisce principalmente nel suo interesse. Questa immagine dell'uomo non è però sempre in linea con l'evidenza empirica. Il contributo proveniente da studi condotti nel campo della sociobiologia e della psicologia ha permesso di superare in parte i limiti della teoria economica classica permettendo di delineare un modello di uomo meno rigoroso, ma al tempo stesso più completo. La conclusione è che la natura dell'uomo non è univoca, come allo stesso modo non lo sono le conseguenze delle sue azioni. L'obiettivo di questo lavoro è proprio quello di ripercorrere le principali tappe che hanno visto modificarsi l'immagine che l'economia ha dell'uomo e della sua natura, a partire dall'Homo Oeconomicus fino ad arrivare al più moderno Homo Oeconomicus Maturus il cui comportamento è determinato non solo dalle leggi di mercato, ma anche dai propri impulsi emotivi.
