Να απαγορεύσουμε τις πιστωτικές κάρτες;

Παραφράζω τον τίτλο του post που έγραψε εχθές ο SG ορμώμενος από αυτό:

They will also assess whether, in the same individuals, buying with credit cards eases the pain compared with paying by cash. If they find that it does, then credit cards may have to join the list of things such as fatty and sugary foods, and recreational drugs, that subvert human instincts in ways that seem pleasurable at the time but can have a long and malign aftertaste.

Τελικά, οι νευροεπιστήμες έχουν βαλθεί να φέρουν τα πάνω κάτω! Από τη μια "modern neuroscience is eroding the idea of free will" κι από την άλλη "modern shopping has subverted the decision-making machinery in a way that encourages people to run up debt." Ενδιαφέροντα πράγματα.

ΥΓ. Δείτε κι αυτό.
