Sinopsis de IRRATIONAL GENEROSITY: THE BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS OF THE DICTATOR GAME

Traditional economic theory relies on a cynical foundation: human beings are perfectly rational, deeply selfish creatures who will always maximize their own wealth. The Dictator Game, a famously brutal behavioral economics experiment, completely shatters this assumption.
In this experiment, Player A is given a sum of money and told they can split it with an anonymous Player B in any way they choose. Player B has zero power to reject the offer or retaliate. According to pure mathematical logic, Player A should keep 100% of the money every single time. Astoundingly, across decades of global testing, they rarely do. The vast majority voluntarily give away a significant portion of their unearned wealth to a total stranger.
This book explores the neurological roots of human fairness. We dissect the cultural, social, and evolutionary pressures that force the brain to override absolute, consequence-free financial power with unprompted altruism.
Challenge the myth of total human greed. Discover the psychological forces that compel us to share the prize, even when no one is watching.
