i just read an essay in the may issue of harper's that reminded me of your senior thesis.

Let There Be Markets

Gordon Bigelow

it goes against the neoclassical model of rational self-interest, which he claims was initially promoted by evangelicals (equating poverty with original sin), and criticizes the field of economics for ignoring the influence of social interaction and irrationality.
