The previous post
Elisa on altruism has provoked an interesting discussion with our colleagues. In summary, we have kindly been called naive because we do not believe that selfishness is the sole determinant of economic choices. The debate, however, turned to the short counter with a late style "and with your children, you're selfless, right?". Not the best argument you may say, and I guess you can actually find great thinkers who have argued that selfishness could be motor behavior in relationships between parents and children (I also wonder if there is no bias, the great thinkers are they family like the others?), foremost among them Karl Marx, with and the historical materialism of its own:
Previously, The workman Sold His Own Labor power, Which he Disposed of nominally as a free agent. Now he sells wife and child. He has Become a slave dealer.
After reading this quote, the question arises
context and constraints on individuals. It is possible as stated by Parsons and Goldin (1989) that in some conditions comme celles prévalent au 19ème, les parents ne soient pas altruistes. Il est aussi possible que ces études nécessitent une révision comme celle récemment menée par Baskar et Gupsa intitulé "Were American Parents Really Selfish? Child Labor in the 19th Century" dont voici l'abstract:
Using the US Commissioner of Labor Survey of 1890, we examine household decisions and parental altruism vis-a-vis their children. Contrary to Parsons and Goldin (1989), we find that parental location choices were dictated by constraints rather than the desire to exploit child labor opportunities. We also find significant income effects on child labor supply, indicating that rising affluence Played important part year in The Secular decline of child labor. We find aussi thats the effects of childrens Income on Their Own consommation are weak, Oz Child Labor IS controlled for.
To avoid exaggerating the specialists, I shall say no more about this fascinating subject, so it is important to have a strong background in philosophy and sociology (perhaps even in biology *) to tell something really relevant. Feel free to leave links in comments (if you're altruistic ;-)) to enrich the knowledge of readers and writers of this blog.
