Ainslie argues that our responses to the threat of our own inconsistency determine the basic fabric of human culture. This perspective helps us understand puzzling aspects of human action and interaction: from self-defeating behaviors to subtler forms of behavior such as altruism. A profound and expert account of human irrationality.
