This course aimed to introduce the student to a series of essential notions to understand the evolution of rules and institutions and thus, the social, political and institutional reality. The 10 proposed notions arise from current theories and schools, with a great presence in the Anglo-Saxon academic field, such as evolutionary perspectives in social sciences, evolutionary game theory, experimental philosophy, behaviorist law and economics, and many others; as the most recent versions of public choice theory, the new institutional economy, or rational choice theory.
The 10 notions we analyzed were: Scarcity, Incentives, (Bounded) Rationality, (Dispersed) Knowledge, Expectations, Unintended Consequences, Emergent Order, Evolution, Adaptation, and Mutation.
Some of the studied authors were: Alexander, Elster, Cosmides & Tooby, Dawkins, Hayek, Hume, Richerson and Boyd, Ridley, Simon, Weber.
The course was given in 4 classes of 2 hours each, on February Thursdays 4, 11, 18 and 25, 2016 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at Instituto Univesitario ESEADE. |
