Summary: Gerald Cory’s book entitled Delusions of Economics and the Way Forward not only summarizes a lifetime of his research but adds significantly to that body. Cory’s research focuses on the human brain, in particular its physiology, evolution, and implications for human behaviour. His research also focuses on dual motive theory and economics’ flawed conception of human motivation. Cory draws heavily on the pioneering research of Paul MacLean, in particular MacLean’s understanding of the three phases of the long evolution of the human brain. Cory also draws on MacLean’s recognition that humans’ brains have a tri-level structure involving reptilian, mammalian, and neo-mammalian modules.
