| Altruism | Sen | Brocker I 882 Altruism/Gary S. Becker: some economists, including Gary S. Becker, reinterpret moral expenditures in such a way that they appear as sophisticated forms of self-care - eager for social recognition or transcendent salvation (Becker 1976(1); Becker 1996(2)): With the help of secret motifs unknown to the actors, ordinary altruism is reconstructed as extraordinary egoism. >Egoism, >Unconscious, >Actions, >Behavior. SenVsBecker, Gary: But Sen is against it: If such, scientifically questionable, ad-hoc assumptions are necessary in order not to simply dismiss moral action as irrational to one's own disadvantage, what does this actually say about the theory applied here?(3) Shouldn't one rather renounce the dogma of self-interest than the plausibility of one's own statements? >Rationality, >Irrationality, >Theories, >Method. 1.

| Human Capital | Becker | Mause I 510f Human Capital/Becker: The homogeneity of the factor labor is dissolved into a new inhomogeneity (Becker 1992, 1993a, b.) (1)(2). Demanders for human capital, as well as demanders for other forms of capital and for the production factors work and land, are companies, the state and other employers. The core of human capital theory is the view that human capital increases the productivity of an actor and that increased productivity results in higher income for the actor and growth of the economy as a whole. Question: how is the amount of human capital and its overall economic impact determined? Solution: Comparison of costs and benefits of education expenditure. Narrow view: Investments in human capital are only those actions that will increase productivity in the future. Individual: an individual's human capital stock is the stock of productive skills and abilities that result in a flow of income. VsHuman Capital/VsBecker: the concept of human capital was criticized as inhuman after its introduction. In Germany, it was named "Un-word of the Year" in 2004. (3) Nowadays this rejection is overcome. >Capabilities, >Humans, >Knowledge, >Information, >Individuals. 1. Gary S. Becker, Menschliches Dasein aus ökonomischer Sicht. Nobel-Lesung vom 9.
