Review essay: The Economy of Esteem

Tyler Cowen

George Mason University, USA, tcowen{at}gmu.edu

Geoffrey Brennan and Philip Pettit have produced a major work on the economics of esteem, entitled The Economy of Esteem.1 They show that much of social order depends on our desire to have our fellow man think well of us. This review also considers some extensions of their basic arguments and the conditions under which those arguments hold.

Key Words: economics • esteem • fame • rationality
