Moral Sentiments and Material Interests

The Foundations of Cooperation in Economic Life
Edited by Herbert Gintis, Samuel Bowles, Robert Boyd and Ernst Fehr

Moral Sentiments and Material Interests presents an innovative synthesis of research in different disciplines to argue that cooperation stems not from the stereotypical selfish agent acting out of disguised self-interest but from the presence of "strong reciprocators" in a social group.
