'Networked minds' require fundamentally new kind of economics - 0 views

  •  
    Economics has a beautiful body of theory. But does it describe real markets? Doubts have come up not only in the wake of the financial crisis, since financial crashes should not occur according to the then established theories. Since ages, economic theory is based on concepts such as efficient markets and the "homo economicus", i.e. the assumption of competitively optimizing individuals and firms. It was believed that any behavior deviating from this would create disadvantages and, hence, be eliminated by natural selection. But experimental evidence from behavioral economics show that, on average, people behave more fairness-oriented and other-regarding than expected. A new theory by scientists from ETH Zurich now explains why.

  •  
    We all know this, right? Competence in cursive is another fundamental skill that we may be overlooking for struggling college students. How can one take notes without cursive and a notebook? No, I don't think that an iPad or laptop work as well, even if the student's keyboarding can keep up.
