A Primer on Golden-Mean Economics: On the Replacement of the Economic Man with the Gentleman Volume 3 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781489538505)

This book is primarily a critique of traditional (Western) economics from the perspective of Confucianism, which values the pursuit of the golden mean or moderation, rather than that of maximum utility (material-want satisfaction), profit and income. To some extent, this primer explains the basic reason why there has been a conflict between the top 1 percent and the rest of 99 percent of the American people; and it suggests a way of reducing this conflict. The way is to replace the self-interested economic man of traditional economics with the self-cultivated gentleman of golden-mean economics in all economic inquiry.
