摘要：The paper aims to contribute to the building of a more realistic understanding of the new born field of behavioral economics,based on a (fragmented) historical perspective of the psychological influences that can be traced in representative works from important economists. Exploring the theory of moral sentiments of Adam Smith,the animal spirits of J.M.Keynes and other representative concepts from Thorstein Veblen,Tibor Scitovsky and Herbert Simon,we emphasize the existence of a solid background for current research on similar topics and a sense of coherence that makes a significant link between different periods of economic thought and the actual trends.
