Abstract

We argue in three lectures that economics should develop on a foundation of biology. We first define what economics with biological foundation is, its position in the history of the discipline, and why this development is necessary for economics to remain a meaningful science. We then outline the three main directions of development for such new science of economics (neuroeconomics, genetics and personality theory), and illustrate research in these three fields.
