Definition

  • Gary S. Becker received the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in the year1992: “For having extended the domain of microeconomic analysis to a wide range of human behavior and interaction, including nonmarket behavior.” With his new perspective, he widened the scope of economic sciences and at the same time added numerous insights to the human behavior research and the field of anthropology. Becker considers economics not as a science that deals with a specific subject matter. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Becker, Gary S. (1930–)]
