Economists as Worldly Philosophers
回顾了经济学从与哲学等人文学科紧密相连到成为技术性专业领域的历史演变，并指出金融危机等事件表明经济学需要发展跨学科论坛、追求更广阔的视野。
While leading figures in the early history of economics conceived of it as inseparable from philosophy and other humanities, there has been movement, especially in recent decades, towards its becoming an essentially technical field with narrowly specialized areas of inquiry. Certainly, specialization has allowed for great progress in economic science. However, recent events surrounding the financial crisis support the arguments of some that economics needs to develop forums for interdisciplinary interaction and to aspire to broader vision.
