TL;DR: The authors argue that a decision cannot be truly rational unless a person is choosing what is really best for that person considering the long-term consequences of the individual's behavior, what the person's sense of morality is, and what gives the person real happiness.
Abstract: This paper reviews and synthesizes the most cogent and telling arguments concerning the deficiencies of economic rationality as a normative concept and based on these develops a more appropriate normative conception of rationality. A major argument of this paper is that economists need to utilize a conception of rationality, true rationality, that includes not only instrumental rationality but rationality of ends. A decision cannot be truly rational unless a person is choosing what is really best for that person considering 1) the long-term consequences of the individual=s behavior, 2) what the person=s sense of morality is, and 3) what gives the person real happiness. If true preferences represent what is really right and best for a person, then the ultimate of rationality, true rationality, means choosing in line with true preferences.
