Introducing Economic Actualism: Making the Science of Rational Behavior More Rational - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Like most of us, David Billings has spent a life time watching society fluctuate between actualist and nominalist perspectives with both curiosity and dismay. David's quest began on a camping trip in Northern Ontario when he was eight years old and caught a fish with his bare hands about an hour before an eclipse of the sun. The long drive home, with its progressive re-entry into society, gave him a sense of mission: to find out why we go to such lengths to escape a society which we go to such lengths to create and sustain. The wordless wonder of an eight-year-old was carried through university degrees in commerce, social organization, and human relations as well as economics from Western University plus biological engineering from the University of Guelph. He briefly taught in the business department of Sheridan College. Without accepting any major corporate responsibilities, he has been given a long-lasting critical perspective by working as an independent handyman.
