As I am reading ”economic man vs social man”, in my warm house, sitting on my comfortable couch, I become more aligned myself more with economic man because of the reasons above. As I grew up, I sided with social man but in the end I was awarded pennies on the dollar. Thinking about your “neighbor” during every transaction leaves you back in a place you’ve worked so hard to escape. Here’s an example, if Elon musk ( net worth $274.7 million ) gave every person in the U.S. ( 346,012,710 ) we would all have $793.90. Does that seem fair? Living a life of hard work and determination for years just to give it all to someone who’s had the same opportunity but used that towards playing video games, watching tv, partying? To me, it doesn’t, which is why I’ve become 80% economic and 20% social. The 20% is important to me because there are things that I feel that the economic man does bad for the community. For example, the “Love Canal” which was an entire town getting sick and dying from a company dumping toxic chemicals in the neighborhood. Because of this, I inspire to become rich but not a monster. That being said, one can always complain about some else’s wealth, but if I were to ask these people if they would do the same thing, I don’t believe they would.
