It suggests that if economists today are serious about emancipation and empowerment, they will have radically change their conception about what it means for a citizen to act rationally in a complex society. Arnsperger emphasizes that current economics neglects an important fact. Many of us ask not only what's in it for us, within a given socio economic context; we also care about the context itself. The author argues that if citizens keen on exercising their critical reason actually demanded economic theories that allowed them to do so, economics would have to become a constantly emerging, open-ended knowledge process. He claims that in a truly free economy, there would be no all-out war between orthodox and heterodox approaches, but an intricate and unpredictable post orthodox pluralism that would emerge from the citizens' own complex interactions.
