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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45506399010967,"sku":"9781482343915","price":1718.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781482343915.webp?v=1767457528","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-primer-on-golden-mean-economics-on-the-replacement-of-the-economic-man-with-the-gentleman-9781482343915","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
