| Summary: | This book argues for the claim that much of the behaviour we view as "moral" exists because acting in that way benefits each of us to the greatest extent possible, given the socially structured nature of society. Drawing upon aspects of evolutionary game theory, the theory of bounded rationality, and computational models of social networks, it shows both how moral behaviour can emerge in socially structured environments, and how it can persist even when it is not typically viewed as "rational"₂ from a traditional economic perspective.
