Abstract

Mások tetteinek, cselekedeteik céljának, motivációinak megértése és megítélése az emberi társadalom és gazdaság működésének alapfeltétele. Folyamatosan figyeljük egymás arcát, szavát, mozdulatait. Igyekszünk követni és megérteni a körülöttünk zajló eseményeket. Ennek során megpróbáljuk tapasztalatainkat interpretálni, elhelyezni az általunk már ismert és értelmezett mintázatokban. Ennek a folyamatnak három fontos eleme van: a ráhangolódás, a megértés és az értékelés. A gazdaságban az ezekhez kapcsolódó képességek a verseny és a kooperáció fontos feltételei. Az ember képessége és hajlama mások érzelmeinek, tetteinek átélésére azonban kétélű fegyver. Éppúgy ösztökél bennünket mások érdekében végzett jó cselekedetekre, mint a másokkal szembeni agresszióra. De mi választja el bennünk a jót a rossztól, a segítőkész, megbocsátó embert a bosszúvágyó rombolótól, az életeket mentő filantrópot az önző fenevadtól? Képes-e ilyen kérdésekre válaszolni a társadalom és a gazdaság jelenségeinek tudományos magyarázatára hivatott közgazdasági gondolkodás? A tanulmány Adam Smith meglátásaiból von le az elmúlt évtizedek tudományos eredményeinek fényében sokkal inkább megerősödő, mintsem elhalványuló tanulságokat.* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: A13, B12, B31, B52, O10
