Much economic literature still assumes that economic behaviour can be explainedby means of a same process applying to all individuals at most exhibitingquantitative differences in the extent of certain individual properties. Inthis book Carlo DIppoliti takes issue with the concept of heterogeneityarguing that Economics should not disregard diversity in the specific sensehere proposed and that this requires a broader multidisciplinary approach tothe explanation of individual and collective behaviour.Drawing on the works of Schmoller and Mill the author uses methods of analysisproper of the history of economic thought as well as of applied economics towork toward a new theory of behaviour. Gender diversity is taken as a crucialexample of the relevance of considering the socioeconomic determination ofbehaviour and these ideas are then applied to an empirical analysis of thecurrent gender differentials in employment. «
