Elster, Jon (1940–) A2 - Wright, James D. [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Jon Elster has contributed to critiquing and also extensively constructing the standards against which to judge social science explanations, and rational choice theory, extending into institutional designs ensuring that analytical work obeys the injunction of methodological individualism and identified plausible mechanism, which explain outcomes, adding indeterminacies, emotions, and norms to the rational choices actors make under limited conditions. His multidisciplinary work has dissected Marxian theories but investigated an array of societal issues of modern times.
