The extension of the suffrage and the advance of civil liberties is without a doubt one of the brilliant achievements of the late capitalist epoch, but it is a profoundly unstable achievement as well. The dynamics of liberal democr-atic capitalism have propelled us towards a fateful crossroads: one way-the extension of capitalism; the other-the extension of democracy. The choice itself heralds the twilight of the liberal tradition, which ...

Following this contribution stage, there is a pay-off stage in which the experimenter gives each of n subjects a fraction, q set symbol (1/n, 1), of the amount in the common account. Contributing is an altruistic act as it increases the average group pay-off (because q> 1/n) at a cost to oneself (because q< 1).

Contrary to the conventional wisdom in biology and economics, this generous and civic-minded behavior is widespread and cannot be explained simply by far-sighted self-interest or a desire to help close genealogical kin. In A Cooperative Species, Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis--pioneers in the new experimental and evolutionary science of human behavior--show that the central issue is not why selfish people act ...

Bowles and H. Gintis* Source: Cambridge Journal of Economics, Vol. 1, No. 2, 1977, pp. 173-192. 1. Introduction Central to the Marxist analysis of capitalism has been the observation that the accumulation process tends to obliterate social distinctions among workers.

The demise of the older usage expresses the conviction among social scientists and political philosophers that as an arena of voluntary contractual exchange, the capitalist economy is devoid of political content. In particular, the standard economic theory of competitive markets, the Walrasian model, ...
