20. 'A behaviourist economic science which looks only to people's actions without trying to understand their thoughts is defective even for its own purposes. So - by implication - are the versions of public choice theory which impute exclusively self-serving purposes to all behaviour. (From that axiom Sen deduces: "Can you direct me to the Railway Station?" asks the stranger. "Certainly", says the local, pointing in the opposite direction to the Post Office, "and would you post this letter for me on your way?" "Certainly", says the stranger, resolving to open it to see if it contains anything worth stealing.)' Stretton and Orchard, op. cit., p. 51.
