Samuel Bowles is Research Professor and Director of the Behavioral Sciences Program at the Santa Fe Institute and Professor of Economics at the University of Siena. He is coauthor of Notes and Problems in Microeconomic Theory (North Holland Texts in Mathematical Economics) and Schooling in Capitalist America (Basic Books), and has published articles, most recently, in the American Economic Review, Nature, the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Economic Journal, and the Journal of Theoretical Biology.
In this novel introduction to modern microeconomic theory, Samuel Bowles returns to the classical economists' interest in the wealth and poverty of nations and people, the workings of the institutions of capitalist economies, and the coevolution of individual preferences and the structures of markets, firms, and other institutions. Using recent advances in evolutionary game theory, contract theory, behavioral experiments, and the modeling of dynamic processes, he develops a theory of how economic institutions shape individual behavior, and how institutions evolve due to individual actions, technological change, and chance events. Topics addressed include institutional innovation, social preferences, nonmarket social interactions, social capital, equilibrium unemployment, credit constraints, economic power, generalized increasing returns, disequilibrium outcomes, and path dependency.
Each chapter is introduced by empirical puzzles or historical episodes illuminated by the modeling that follows, and the book closes with sets of problems to be solved by readers seeking to improve their mathematical modeling skills. Complementing standard mathematical analysis are agent-based computer simulations of complex evolving systems that are available online so that readers can experiment with the models. Bowles concludes with the time-honored challenge of "getting the rules right," providing an evaluation of markets, states, and communities as contrasting and yet sometimes synergistic structures of governance. Must reading for students and scholars not only in economics but across the behavioral sciences, this engagingly written and compelling exposition of the new microeconomics moves the field beyond the conventional models of prices and markets toward a more accurate and policy-relevant portrayal of human social behavior.

第一次知道鮑爾斯的名字,是在閱讀汪丁丁老師的《製度分析基礎講義》的過程中瞭解的。鮑爾斯和金提斯都是屬於桑塔菲研究中心的代錶性人物。汪丁丁老師和葉航老師似乎對於桑塔菲學派都比較欣賞。不過,當時也隻是知道他的名字而已,對於他的思想並沒有太深的認識。 07年9月...

評分馬歇爾將物理學的均衡概念引入經濟學,使以價格均衡理論為核心的現代經濟學逐漸成長為一門科學。但馬歇爾卻在《經濟學原理》一書中直言不諱,認為與物理學相比,經濟學更與生物學接近,乃至宣稱,“經濟學傢的麥加應當在於經濟生物學,而非經濟力學”。上個世紀後半葉,博弈論...

評分這學期上Sam Bowles的微觀,用他自己的這本教材,確實值得細讀,等這學期結束再爭取好好寫個書評
