Knowledge, perception and memory

Abstract: What do you do to start reading knowledge perception and memory? Searching the book that you love to read first or find an interesting book that will make you want to read? Everybody has difference with their reason of reading a book. Actuary, reading habit must be from earlier. Many people may be love to read, but not a book. It's not fault. Someone will be bored to open the thick book with small words to read. In more, this is the real condition. So do happen probably with this knowledge perception and memory.

Rational economic man

Abstract: Economists still analyse the behaviour of rational economic man. He is constantly maximising. At work, he steers a balance between the pain of additional effort and the joy of additional reward. In the supermarket, he rushes from aisle to aisle comparing price and marginal utility. In the extreme variant put forward by some University of Chicago economists, this behaviour is universal. We refrain from stealing only when the expected penalty exceeds the value of the loot. We marry to gain economies of scale from living together. We commit suicide when the net value of future utility is no longer positive.
