		<description><![CDATA[The idea of economic man, sometimes given a Latin nomenclature to increase its gravitas, is the real cause of economicsâ€™ more recent failures.

		<description><![CDATA[The idea that companies, if not all economic activity, exists to maximise the wealth of shareholders or owners, dominates the world of corporate governance and much else.
