Jon Elster

    February 22, 1940

    Jon Elster is a Norwegian social and political theorist whose works delve into the philosophy of social science and rational choice theory. He is also a notable proponent of analytical Marxism and a critic of neoclassical economics and public choice theory, largely on behavioral and psychological grounds. His scholarship primarily analyzes human decision-making and social phenomena. Elster rigorously examines how bounded rationality and psychological factors shape both individual and collective behavior.
