Economists as Worldly Philosophers
By Robert J. Shiller and Virginia M. Shiller (2011)


Abstract/

While leading figures in the early history of economics conceived of it as
inseparable from philosophy and other humanities, there has been movement,
especially in recent decades, towards its becoming an essentially technical
field with narrowly specialized areas of inquiry. Certainly, specialization
has allowed for great progress in economic science. However, recent
events surrounding the financial crisis support the arguments of some that
economics needs to develop forums for interdisciplinary interaction and to
aspire to broader vision.
