Abstract
Mainstream psychology is based on methodological individualism. The proposed monograph presents an alternative to that academism by approaching economic psychology (and a number of aspects of, for example, political psychology and socio-psycho-linguistics) from the perspective of social interaction and social identity as they apply to micro- and macroeconomic issues.
