Re: Re: "behavioral economics"

Not sure it is apropos of this thread but I want to share an Oscar Wilde
remark that I heard on the radio yesterday:

    Roughly:  A man cannot be rich and not act like a rich man, anymore
than a man can be blind and not act like a blind man.

    A great insight.

I. e., are the behavioralists just acting like they act?  The quote is,
I think, from a new biography of Wilde's rich young lover, Bosie
Douglas, son of the Marquise of Queensbury, Wilde's nemesis.
