But it is this behavioral model which is at the cold, cruel heart of neoliberal economics, and it is as morally corrosive as it is scientifically wrong because, if we accept at face value that humans are fundamentally selfish, and then we look around the world at all of the unambiguous prosperity in it, then it follows logically, then it must be true by definition, that billions of individual acts of selfishness magically transubstantiate into prosperity and the common good.
No to je bihevioralni model koji je u hladnom, okrutnom srcu neoliberalne ekonomije i on je jednako moralno korozivan koliko je i znanstveno netočan jer, ako prihvatimo kao neupitno da su ljudi u suštini sebični, i pogledamo naokolo po svijetu na sav nedvosmislen napredak u njemu, onda logički slijedi da to mora biti istina po definiciji, da se milijuni pojedinačnih nesebičnih djela nekim čudom preobražavaju u napredak i zajedničko dobro.
