(1990) Social economics, Dordrecht, Springer.
Few deny that the origins of neoclassical economics lie in a particular social philosophy and ethics, namely hedonistic utilitarianism. Contemporary economists often ignore these roots and treat their concepts as if they were value-neutral and 'scientific." In effect, the focus on profit, self-interest, and the individual's desires continues to reflect the origins of this approach.
