Breaking Economic Assumptions

(Up to: Society And Control Economics )
Neo-classical economics is based largely on assumptions of how people behave. Mostly these are, on aggregate true. But they are not the whole picture, and perhaps they shouldn't be taken to be as such if society is to run as smoothly as we'd like it to. This page will explore simple ways to act (or in which we act anyway) that go against these assumptions. The question is, to what extent, what scale, do these actions go - how do they measure up against the economic assumptions?
Social Decision Making might be relevant here.
