要旨:
Two things that are wrong with the current education of economics students are (a) the scientific pretensions and (b) the narrowness of the curriculum. The two reinforce each other, implying that, because economics is the “queen of the social sciences” (Samuelson), economists do not need to bother with other social science and humanities disciplines like sociology, psychology, politics, history, and so on. Their own efforts to understand human behavior are crippled by their commitment to methodological individualism and utility maximization. So what should the ideal education of an economist be?
