Does anyone know where a quote from Amartya Sen is located where he 
discusses J. S. Mill's homo economicus model?

 From memory, he says that it is a deliberate simplification of 
reality.  It is not in the famous "Rational Fools" article.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks very much

James Alvey
