《道德经济》部分基于耶鲁大学 Samuel Bowles 教授的 Castle 讲座，该讲座源自他 30 年来对市场和激励措施的文化影响的关注。鲍尔斯在他的书中重点讨论了一种新的政策范式，该范式建议从经济人转向考虑人的本来面目。鲍尔斯认为，后一种方法使得激励和约束之间的协同作用以及道德动机和其他动机的结合成为可能。作者认为，只有不忽视其文化背景和人的善良的市场经济才能正常运转。 《经济社会学杂志》发表了第一章“经济人的问题”，其中作者试图说服读者，经济人的原则并不是政策制定和企业管理的良好基准假设，至少有两个原因。首先，工具性激励并不能保证良好的政府。其次，依赖于自私自利和不道德的人类的政策为这种人类行为模式在现实世界中占据主导地位创造了条件。作者引用了各种各样的哲学、政治和经济文献来构建他的论点。这本书非常容易阅读，因为它包含了生动的例子和吸引人的轶事。
The Moral Economy is based in part on Castle Lectures given by Prof. Samuel Bowles at Yale University that resulted from his concerns about the cultural effects of markets and incentives over 30 years. In his book, Bowles focuses on a new policy paradigm, which proposes switching from Homo economicus to an approach considering people as they are. According to Bowles, the latter approach makes synergy between incentives and constraints as well as the conjunction of ethical and other-regarding motivations possible. The author argues that only market economies that do not ignore their cultural background and the goodness of people are able to work properly. The Journal of Economic Sociology has published the first chapter, “The Problem with Homo Economicus,” in which the author tries to convince readers that the principle of Homo economicus is not a good baseline assumption for policy-making and business management for at least two reasons. First, instrumental incentives do not guarantee good government. Second, a policy, which relies on self-interested and amoral humans, creates conditions for the dominancy of this human behavior model in the real world. The author addresses a wide variety of philosophical, political, and economic literature to construct his arguments. The book is very easy to read thanks to the vivid examples and attractive anecdotes it contains.
