This collection of papers may be more appealing to the HN crowd. They give a more technical critique of the practice of economics. Alfred S. Eichner. (1983). Why Economics is not yet a Science. 1. Introduction. 2. What do we mean by asking whether economics is a science? 3. Modern empiricism and quantum-leap theorizing in economics. 4. Ideology, methodology, and neoclassical economics. 5. A behavioral theory of economists' behavior. 6. The development of contemporary mainstream macroeconomics: Vision, ideology, and theory. 7. How economists misuse mathematics. 8. Institutional analysis: Toward progress in economic science. 9. Why economics is not yet a science. The unifying theme of the papers is that there is no empirical support for the foundational propositions of the dominant theoretical framework. They argue that for economics to become a science, it must shift its focus to testable claims. I think the best chapter is 7. The author's field is optimal control theory, and he argues that it is misapplied to economics.
