What is the leitmotif in economic life: fighting or cooperation?
I think that the "homo oecomicus" does not exist in reality and is just an economic model driven by theory. The core of human motivation is interpersonal acceptance, to give devotion and to care about somebody. From neurobiological perspective we are designed for social resonance and cooperation. Research in cooperation which is based on game theory results in that trust creates trust, whereas distrust and rejection promote aggression.

What exactly is happiness?
I like to read articles about happiness that I find by chance in newspapers or journals. On the one hand, happiness is a goal of all human striving and on the other hand it is just chance or fate. It is obviously an ambiguous term, but certainly a concept that at first can be classified into the field of philosophy. Epicure, the Greek philosopher, introduced hedonism. He mentioned that the pleasure is itself the content of happiness. From the biological perspective happiness arises in our mind by the release of hormones and neurotransmitters. Moreover there exist already a science of happiness and even an economy of happiness.
