Abstract

Summary
Although it is known that man is an unknown being, and thinkers have expressed different opinions about him. But regarding his economic behavior, there are different views among different schools. Different schools have a special view of the economic man, and each of them see the man through their own mirror and judge him according to the way they see him, and consider goals, motivations and behaviors for him and based on These views analyze and interpret its economic behavior.For example, Adam Smith considers personal interest to be the main driver of human economic activities, but the opinion of the followers of the German historical school is not only personal interest, but also considers the sense of duty, love, people-friendliness, ambition, etc. to be effective in economic activities, for this reason. In this article, we will look at different schools of economics.
