The future of economics

Article Abstract:

Economist, David Colander, argues that 'loose fitting pragmatism', or seeking patterns in economic data, is the best way to tackle problems in economics. Meanwhile, University of Chicago's Richard Thaler argues that a greater focus on human cognition would make models more realistic. Thaler's approach offers a way of making economics more interesting than Colander's, and Thaler also offers a possibility of developing mdels which appear truthful, yet are not unwieldy.
