Identity Economics: How Our Identities Shape Our Work, Wages, and Well-BeingIdentity Economics provides an important and compelling new way to understand human behavior, revealing how our identities and not just economic incentives influence our decisions.

Identity Economics provides an important and compelling new way to understand human behavior, revealing how our identities--and not just economic incentives--influence our decisions. In 1995, economist Rachel Kranton wrote future Nobel Prize-winner George Akerlof a letter insisting that his most recent paper was wrong. Identity, she argued, was the missing element that would help to explain why people--facing the same economic circumstances--would make different choices. This was the beginning of a fourteen-year collaboration--and of Identity Economics.


The authors explain how our conception of who we are and who we want to be may shape our economic lives more than any other factor, affecting how hard we work, and how we learn, spend, and save. Identity economics is a new way to understand people's decisions--at work, at school, and at home. With it, we can better appreciate why incentives like stock options work or don't; why some schools succeed and others don't; why some cities and towns don't invest in their futures--and much, much more.

Identity Economics bridges a critical gap in the social sciences. It brings identity and norms to economics. People's notions of what is proper, and what is forbidden, and for whom, are fundamental to how hard they work, and how they learn, spend, and save. Thus people's identity--their conception of who they are, and of who they choose to be--may be the most important factor affecting their economic lives. And the limits placed by society on people's identity can also be crucial determinants of their economic well-being.

Superior Quality & Effective
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
Thorne Magnesium is a total game changer! The quality is exceptional, and it has finally helped me get the restful sleep I've been missing. I’ve struggled with insomnia and tried numerous other brands to no avail, but Thorne is truly superior. It is absolutely worth the investment for results that actually work.

Reliable
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
The brand has a good reputation. I prefer to order products with the Thorne brand than others, because of its reputation. The magnesium by Thorne is well worth the price. It is reputable and for sleep it works well. Other health benefits are included so not just for sleep but overall health. Good product.

Great brand great quality
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
I bought this supplement during my pregnancy and absolutely love the quality of Thor supplements. It mainly contains magnesium and I highly recommend this brand. They use the purest ingredients and the effects are truly impressive. Since magnesium can cause side effects I was pleased to find this one didn’t have any for me.
