Dear list members,

I have the following two requests and maybe some of you have
recommendations: 

1. Can anybody recommend literature (in history of economic thought or
philosophy) on the origins of and influences on the "choice - based
approach" to human decision making in for example microeconomics ( as
opposed to the "preference-based approach"), apart from Samuelson, the early
game theorists, Savage, Arrow and Sen?

2. Does anyone know of an (early) example of a model of consumer behavior
based upon that approach?

I would be grateful for some comments!

Best wishes,
Catherine Herfeld
