El trabajo analiza las razones para la acción. A partir de la distinción entre los enfoques de decisión racional y altruismo recíproco, el artículo examina sucesivamente ambos modelos, concluyendo con una breve observación sobre el poder de las profecías que se auto-cumplen. El texto argumenta que el enfoque de la decisión racional se basa en suposiciones erróneas sobre la naturaleza humana y, por consiguiente, conduce a predicciones igualmente equivocadas
This is an article about reasons for action. Starting from the distinction between rational choice and reciprocal altruism, the article successively develops both approaches, concluding with a remark on the worrisome possibility that inaccurate portrayals of human nature may prove self-reinforcing. The article argues that rational choice approach is based on inaccurate behavioral assumptions and consequently leads to inaccurate predictions.
