  • Incentives, belief in incentives, the left, the right and moral hazard (Weekly Roundup 132: A Curated Linkfest For The Smartest People On The Web)
  • June 20, 2011 – “Or let’s put it another way. The left believes that if people are going to behave well, they will do so regardless of (or with little regard to) material incentives. The right believes the incentives are really important. (You can see this same division in the debate over competition in the NHS, or privatisation and market discipline in general.) We might draw the conclusion that people project their own self-image onto everyone else – and therefore left-wingers believe they are not influenced by incentives, while right-wingers believe themselves to be guided only by incentives. But that’s also too simplistic.”
