Samuel Bowles' "Moral Economy: Incentives or Good Citizens" was published as Kuma Gakugei Bunko on September 12, 2024, by Professor ISOGAI Akinori. The Chikuma Gakugei Bunko is a library that has a very well-established reputation for making good books both inside and outside a library and offering them to many readers. This book was published by NTT Publishing in 2017, but with this paperback, I think that students and the general public will be able to get this book. According to Dr. Isogai, “This book covers very interesting cases such as failures at daycare centers in Haifa, Israel, observation of children under two years old, and absenteeism among firefighters in Boston, United States. These examples show that economic incentives (such as financial rewards and fines) may undermine the non-monetary ethical and moral motives of people. Why don't you try to take this book with your hands?"
