Economics and the Mind
ISBN: 9780415770569 / Angielski / Twarda / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Economics is often defined as the science of choice or human action.

Actions are often opposed to mere bodily movements, with the former being in some sense only understandable in reference to mental processes while the latter are understandable in entirely non-mental, physical terms. While philosophers have long concerned themselves with... Economics is often defined as the science of choice or human action.
