Amadae's book Rationalizing Capitalist Democracy is a good place to start.

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
