Identity Economics: How Our Identities Shape Our Work, Wages, and Well-BeingIdentity Economics provides an important and compelling new way to understand human behavior, revealing how our identities and not just economic incentives influence our decisions.

Identity Economics provides an important and compelling new way to understand human behavior, revealing how our identities--and not just economic incentives--influence our decisions. In 1995, economist Rachel Kranton wrote future Nobel Prize-winner George Akerlof a letter insisting that his most recent paper was wrong. Identity, she argued, was the missing element that would help to explain why people--facing the same economic circumstances--would make different choices. This was the beginning of a fourteen-year collaboration--and of Identity Economics.


The authors explain how our conception of who we are and who we want to be may shape our economic lives more than any other factor, affecting how hard we work, and how we learn, spend, and save. Identity economics is a new way to understand people's decisions--at work, at school, and at home. With it, we can better appreciate why incentives like stock options work or don't; why some schools succeed and others don't; why some cities and towns don't invest in their futures--and much, much more.

Identity Economics bridges a critical gap in the social sciences. It brings identity and norms to economics. People's notions of what is proper, and what is forbidden, and for whom, are fundamental to how hard they work, and how they learn, spend, and save. Thus people's identity--their conception of who they are, and of who they choose to be--may be the most important factor affecting their economic lives. And the limits placed by society on people's identity can also be crucial determinants of their economic well-being.

Removes very hard stains w/ease!
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 96 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using this for a while on my son's clothes & have been happy, it's concentrated so less is more. But what makes me give it 5 stars is it's ability to remove dried sweet potato baby food out of a light cream colored onesie lol wow! I followed the directions, poured a little on the stain, rubbed it in & let it sit for a few mins. Then just tossed it in the washer & hoped for the best... ALL of the stain came out, you can't tell it was ever there! That in itself makes it worth every penny. I will be repurchasing before this bottle runs out!

Light scent
The mojito scent is lighter than expected, end the lotion isn't as thick as others I've used, but my skin seems to like it. It absorbs quickly and makes my skin soft after a day at the pool.
