Individuals and Identity in Economics by John B. Davis [Book Review]

Abstract

The book, Individuals and Identity in Economics, by John Davis is the follow-up to Davis's previous work, The Theory of the Individual in Economics on the critical role and definition of the individual in economic thought. Beyond analyzing a conception of the individual as a collection of preferences, Davis seeks to resolve notions of atomistic, self-contained individuals with both post-World War II game theory and modem behavioral economics. The result is a well-developed, carefully constructed treatment giving food for thought for those interested in the philosophy of economics and the conception of the individual.
