Prof. Horowitz:
It started from idle curiosity. Really.
If there is a new epistemology-psychology out there, what would
economics built on it look like? All the various economicses are
defensible, given their different questions and purposes. The
original question here was stricly academic. People who have
something `positive' they want to do with economics would hardly be
interested in the question; at least, not until the economics
suggested had been built, and they could see to what use it might be
put.
