This volume investigates the conceptual and theoretical intersections between economic models of human behavior and philosophical inquiries into the nature of the mind. The authors, Barbara Montero and Mark D. White, curate a collection of essays from leading scholars in both fields to examine how assumptions about rationality, agency, and mental states influence economic theory. By bridging these disciplines, the text challenges traditional economic paradigms that rely on simplified models of human cognition.

Experts in both economics and philosophy recognize this text as a valuable resource for understanding the cognitive underpinnings of economic behavior. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is well-suited for scholars and advanced students interested in the intersection of these two fields.
