Preface to the American edition -- Prologue -- In which we climb into the world of economics and ask ourselves who Adam Smith's mother was -- In which we are introduced to economic man and realize that he is incredibly seductive -- In which it becomes apparent that economic man is not a woman -- In which we see that our pact with economic man isn't turning out as we had expected -- In which we add women and stir -- In which Las Vegas and Wall Street merge -- In which the global economy goes to hell -- In which we see that men are also not like economic man -- In which economic incentives aren't shown to be as uncomplicated as we might think -- In which we see that you aren't selfish just because you want more money -- In which we see that a negative number is still zero -- In which we all become entrepreneurs -- In which we see that the uterus isn't a space capsule -- In which we discover economic man's unforeseen depths and fears -- In which we see that the greatest story of our time only has one sex -- In which we will see that every society suffers in line with its bullshit : and we say goodbye -- Epilogue.
Translated from the Swedish.
