- The proposal. Humanomics and liberty promise better economic science ; Adam Smith practiced humanomics, and so should we ; Economic history illustrates the problems with nonhumanomics ; An economic science needs the humanities ; It's merely a matter of common sense and intellectual free trade ; After all, sweet talk rules a free economy ; Therefore we should walk on both feet, like Ludwig Lachmann ; That is, economics needs theories of human minds beyond behaviorism -- The killer app. The killer app of humanomics is the evidence that the great enrichment came from ethics and rhetoric ; The dignity of liberalism did it ; Ideas, not incentives, underlie it ; Even as to time and location ; The word's the thing -- The doubts. Doubts by analytic philosophers about the killer app are not persuasive ; Nor by sociologists or political philosophers ; Nor even by economic historians.
