Resumo

A vaidade está subjacente ao comportamento humano e pode ser expressade várias formas nos campos social, moral, estético e econômico. É umcomplexo emocional que engloba o narcisismo e o histrionismo como traçosde caráter, assim como outras funções, tais como memória, imaginação,cognição e impulso instintivo. Este estudo se concentra no homo oeconomi-cus utilizando uma abordagem econômico-filosófica para descrever a vaida-de em uma situação de interação social entre um agente que se exibe e umespectador que observa quando o tema é uma comparação mútua em face asinais exteriores de riqueza. Para esse fim, são utilizados os pensamentos deAdam Smith sobre vaidade na obra Teoria dos Sentimentos Morais e os es-tudos de Stuart Mill sobre distúrbios nos modelos econômicos. Como con-clusão, pretende-se demonstrar que o pensamento desses dois economistas-filósofos permanece relevante para determinar a vaidade do homo oecono-micus contemporâneo.
