Pantaleoni and Pareto re-established economic theory on the basis of homo oeconomicus which, despite criticisms, went on to become a strangely popular concept, not only among economists, but even in common parlance, where it has assumed a confusing variety of meanings. With a view to setting things in order, this book distinguishes: the methodological hypotheses, which could possibly be corrected on the basis of new economic psychology; the weak anthropologies, retrievable as 'given abstractions' within typical contexts; and finally the extreme versions, that reduce human nature to absolute egoism. The author makes a radical criticism of the latter, drawing upon the extensive tools derived from psychology, philosophical anthropology and political philosophy, and thus succeeds in demonstrating their lack of empirical foundation, their conceptual inconsistency and their ideological dangerousness.

Este trabalho teve por objetivo investigar como os jovens do município de Americano do Brasil, interior do Estado de Goiás, constroem seus projetos de vida procurando identificar os eixos centrais, que os norteiam e sua relação com a localidade onde vivem. Para tanto foram realizados três grupos focais com jovens do município. O primeiro grupo foi constituído por jovens matriculados na escola local, o segundo grupo por jovens que apenas estavam trabalhando no momento da entrevista e o terceiro por jovens, que não estudavam e nem trabalhavam. Foi solicitado aos jovens que respondessem ao questionário socioeconômico e participassem dos grupos focais. Foi solicitado aos participantes, que se posicionassem nas entrevistas focais frente a suas expectativas de vida futura. Procurou-se incentivar a discussão entre eles. Os depoimentos foram organizados em categorias temáticas. Os posicionamentos e os eixos centrais, que norteiam a construção de seus projetos de vida refletem, predominantemente, as questões do cotidiano em que vivem e pelo qual transitam. Ao entender como esses jovens constroem seus projetos de vida, por meio de suas experiências e seus relacionamentos com a sociedade, esta investigação fez um registro das principais referências que norteiam esses projetos, destacando o trabalho como a diretriz principal para os projetos de vida desses jovens.

AbstractThis study aims to investigate how young people from the city of Americano do Brazil in the interior of the state of Goiás, construct their life projects in order to identify the central axes that guide them and their relationships with the locality where they live. For this purpose, three focus groups were carried with young people from the municipality. The first group consisted of young people enrolled in the local school, the second group by young people who were only working at the time of the interview and the third by young people who neither studied nor worked. These youths were asked to respond to a socioeconomic questionnaire and participate in focus groups. Participants were asked to take a stand in the focal interviews against their expectations of future life. They tried to encourage the discussion among them. The statements were organized in thematic categories. The positions and the central axes that guide the construction of their projects of life reflect predominantly the questions of the daily life in which they live and through which they transit. By understanding how these Young people construct their life projects, through their experiences and their relationships with society, this research made a record of the main references that guide these projects, highlighting work as the main guideline for the life projects of these young people.
