Epilogue. 330 $aTrading, forecasting, aggregating, and innovating (the Four) are key social interactions in human life at both the individual and aggregate levels. They are part of the human fabric because they stem from mankind?s peculiarities?heterogeneity, inclination to forecast, sociality, and inventiveness. But humans have multifaceted behavior, too. They are capable of having contradictory impulses towards one another, integrating and disintegrating as well as cooperating and dominating, and behaving prosocially and anti-socially. Hence, humans need to organize themselves in order to maintain, improve, and extend their social interactions as well as a safe and ordered life. Crucial intersections emerge naturally?the efficiency of humans? way of tackling the Four is a joint product of economic systems, institutions, and behaviors. All told, the main idea of this book is to include in a single tour a collection of insights on why and how humans implement the Four. The narrative highlights several connections as well as how key these businesses are as the traveler is escorted through some Four-related behavioral problems and institutional solutions that humans have been, respectively, facing and elaborating over time. Economics students may exploit this book by both inserting what they are learning from textbooks into a wider framework and enjoying some of the hints revealed by the grand social theorizing of giants such as A. Smith and J. Schumpeter. But the proposed tour may also attract outsiders to economics who are curious about disparate economic themes linked to the Four but who wish to gain an overview without engaging in longer readings. 410 0$aContributions to Economics,$x2197-7178 606 $aEconomics$xPsychological aspects 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEvolutionary economics 606 $aInstitutional economics 606 $aSchools of economics 606 $aBehavioral Economics 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 606 $aInstitutional and Evolutionary Economics 606 $aHeterodox Economics 615 0$aEconomics$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aEvolutionary economics. 615 0$aInstitutional economics. 615 0$aSchools of economics. 615 14$aBehavioral Economics. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 615 24$aInstitutional and Evolutionary Economics. 615 24$aHeterodox Economics. 676 $a330 676 $a306.3 700 $aBovi$b Maurizio$0129171 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910556885703321 996 $aWhy and How Humans Trade, Predict, Aggregate, and Innovate$92819527 997 $aUNINA
