Philosophy of Economics: A Contemporary Introduction by Julian Reiss (April 2013) introduces readers to the field in which many of those challenges are now being articulated. Questions of ethics, of the nature of human rationality when faced with economic decision-making, and of the verifiability of economic models are all now being asked anew about economic practices and decisions. This interview hopes to open those questions to all curious readers. Click here to read the full Q&A.
