Sheila Dow looks behind the curtain of these debates; she seeks to find out why particular theories are being advanced, and how economists evaluate the merit of an argument in scientific debate.

Sheila Dow, Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Stirling, is interviewed by Bruce Caldwell. The two also talk about David Hume's view of human nature, and about the notion of rationality employed in behavioral economics.
