Political Economy on Rationality - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 62 Rationality/Economy/Economic Theory/Political Economy: Economically oriented political science was confronted with problems because it initially assumed that the actors had complete information. Problem: the empirical significance of this approach is limited, since due to the axiomatics (individuals act rationally) every action must necessarily provide the greatest benefit to an actor.(1)(2) >Utility, >Axiomatic Utility theory, >Axioms, >Axiom Systems. Solution: In the 1970s and 1980s - both in political science and in economics - the rigid axiomatic of rationality was therefore softened in favour of the idea of a "restricted, bounded rationality." (3) This takes into account the limited rationality and processing power of humans. >Bounded Optimality. 1. D. P. Green, I. Shapiro, Pathologies of rational-choice theory.
