This late in the debate, I can only think of posting a discussion about the worldly philosophers in NYT in 1999. Robert Heilbroner and others have much to say in the article titled:
"A Challenge to Scientific Economics; An Older School Looks at a Broad, More Intuitive Picture While Modernists See Just the Numbers and Facts"
http://www.nytimes.com/1999/01/23/arts/challenge-scientific-economics-older-school-looks-broad-more-intuitive-picture.html?
Thank you all for a most interesting discussion.
