Homo economicus is the nick-name for the famous American economist and Nobel Prize-winner Gary S.Becker. His ideas are also interesting for people who have never taken an interest in economy. Gary Becker calls himself Homo economicus since he analyses human behaviour from an economic point of view, whether this involves reflection upon marriage, the decision to have children, the manner in which they are brought up, divorce, crime or perhaps also racial discrimination. Becker visited Prague to accept an honorary doctorate from the Prague School of Economics where he met President Vaclav Havel and took part in a panel discussion with the Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus.
