Reviving Veblenian economic psychology
回顾凡勃伦对理性经济人的批判及其基于演化思想的人性观，并指出当代认知科学的新发现正在证实凡勃伦的核心心理学假设，为研究经济行为提供更整合的框架。
Thorstein Veblen's seminal paper 'Why is Economics Not an Evolutionary Science?' (1898) is well known for its critique of rational economic man. However, rather than just criticize this model, Veblen developed an alternative, evolutionary-informed approach to understanding human nature, based partly on the ideas of Charles Sanders Peirce, William James and, later, William McDougall. The aim of this paper is to show how recent results from a number of cognitive disciplines are beginning to reaffirm many of Veblen's core psychological assumptions. The paper argues that an active, multimodular and hierarchical approach to the mind can help provide a more integrative framework in which to examine economic behavior.
