Saw a great talk at Davidson recently by the behavioral economist Dan Ariely, whose book Predictably Irrational seems to be getting a lot of attention (he gives good interview, too). Hell, behavioral economics in general seems to be getting a lot of attention, e.g., David Brooks' recent column.
Noam Scheiber reported a while back in The New Republic that Austan Goolsbee, Barack Obama's top economic adviser, seemed to have some kind of fan-boy thing for Brooks; Goolsbee consults regularly with his University of Chicago colleague, the behavioral economist Richard Thaler; is that the connection?

'Existing authentically means existing in the mode of self-determination, and Heidegger also employs the term resoluteness (Entschlossenheit) in this context. When Heidegger first presented his ideas in lectures at Marburg, the students remarked jokingly, "We are resolute, but we do not know to what purpose"'--Ernst Tugendhat, Self-Consciousness and Self-Determination
