The homo economicus of neoclassical economic theory is a consistently reasonable contemporary who maximises his utility with unlimited rationality, irrepressible willpower and without a hint of altruism. Loosely based on the German economist Hanno Beck, a meeting in the flesh is as realistic as that of the elective half-Vulcan Mr. Spock, who landed on Earth after a successful space mission...
