Quotes by Samuel Bowles (?)

“The political perspective of this book, ironically, is the progeny of the progressive potential of capitalism as an historical system. The joint possibility of universal material well-being and the democratization of society is a product of the capitalist era. But the history of capitalism is a chronicle of the tension between possibilities and limits: democracy and universal affluence in perpetual and ubiquitous conflict with class domination - itself a product of the social organization of capitalist production.”
― Samuel Bowles, Schooling in Capitalist America: Educational Reform and the Contradictions of Economic Life

“) A man ought to be a friend to his friend and repay gift with gift. People should meet smiles with smiles and lies with treachery. A man ought to be a friend to his friend and also to his friend’s friend. But no one should be friendly with a friend of his foe.”
― Samuel Bowles, A Cooperative Species: Human Reciprocity and Its Evolution

“Optimizing models are commonly used to describe behavior not because they mimic the cognitive processes of the actors, which they rarely do, but because they capture important influences on individual behavior in a succinct and analytically tractable way.”
― Samuel Bowles, Herbert Gintis, A Cooperative Species: Human Reciprocity and Its Evolution
