Del Desespero De Greenspan a La Esperanza De Obama: Las Bases Científicas De La Cooperación Como Principios De Regulación
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: A common assumption, often accepted by regulators – that individuals act only in their narrow self-interest – is false. Evidence from both the natural and social sciences suggests that most people are strongly motivated to cooperate and help one another. Organizations (such as Toyota and Wikipedia) that cultivate and take advantage of these inclinations have prospered. Policy can be designed to incorporate attitudes toward cooperation, and to channel these tendencies in productive directions.
