Neuroeconomics?

Searching for the buy and sell Holy Grail…

Economic theory and thought run the gamut from the downright silly, to the bizarre.  Neuroeconomics seems to be the up and coming darling in this field.

Economist.com provides a glimpse into this field in an article titled “Mind games."

The problem with these mind games is that the game is played differently by each individual, though those who want to control the game believe it’s a one size fits all game where everyone wins, according to the government’s rules, and by god, you’ll all play according to those rules.

"Government policies, such as forced savings or “cooling off� periods for buying property or cars, may be one remedy."

  2. It’s a crock, but it’s quite plausible.
