John Stuart Mill on Humans - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 351 Humans/Mill/Höffe: Mill rejects the two "economistic" views, on the other hand, that the human is a homo oeconomicus by nature and that in social life the primacy of the economy is due. People, he says, have other things more important than satisfying their needs and interests by acquiring relevant goods and services as rationally as possible. What is decisive are those things such as ideas and fine arts that people seek for their own sake. Last but not least, instead of the economy, politics alone deserves - and should complement, humane and humanitarian practice - priority(1). >Life/Mill. 1. J.
