Předběžná náplň práce

The main idea of writing this work was to show that explaining the behavior of Homo economicus only from economic angle is insufficient. It is also impossible to fully describe Homo economicus without implementing the society in every day life of the individual. Living in one society puts Homo economicus into the legal framework of the group and it affects his/her decision making process. On the other hand, there are set of rules which are attached to the system of norms existing in humans. Homo economicus is therefore obliged to follow both, legal framework and human nature with its influence in every decision one is making.
