An illustration of rational choice theory comes in the form of A. W. Tucker's prisoner's dilemma. If you have two choices, identical to someone else, and the outcome depends on the other person's choices, you should act rationally and choose the option that is most likely to benefit you (Luce and Raiffa, 1958). However, this ignores any good feeling you may have for the other person, and uses the rational assumption that people are inherently self interested. It may be the case that you care as much for the other person's well being as your own, but rational choice theory does not entertain this as a possibility. Elitists may, with respect to the prisoner's dilemma, argue that a member of the elite would, and should, choose the most beneficial option. However, a member of the dominated majority may see things differently, and value others in his class as highly as himself.
