Social Sciences - Anthropology | | English term or phrase: trading away | | To avoid trading away long-term well-being for the sake of momentary pleasures, society has evolved a whole set of “commitment devices”: social and institutional “mechanisms” that constrain people’s choices in ways that moderate the balance of choice away from the present and in favor of the future. Savings accounts, marriage, norms for social behavior, government itself in some sense—all these can be regarded as examples of mechanisms that make it a little easier for people to curtail their evolutionary appetites for immediate arousal and protect their own future interests. And, indeed, the interests of affected others. |
