520    Summary: For neoclassical economists, Homo economicus, or 
       economic human, represents the ideal employee: an 
       energetic worker bee that is a rational yet competitive 
       decision-maker. Alternatively, one could view the concept 
       as a cold and selfish workaholic endlessly seeking the 
       accumulation of money and advancement -- a chilling 
       representation of capitalism. Or perhaps, as Peter Fleming
       argues, Homo economicus does not actually exist at all. In
       this book, Fleming presents this controversial claim with 
       the same fierce logic and perception that launched his 
       Guardian column into popularity.
