Bloggingheads Recommendation
Tom Slee v Will Wilkinson.
As far as I can tell, these are both people who are outsiders to economics, and have both looked into the discipline and found a solid basis for their chosen political-economic worldview. Specifically, Wilkinson seems to have basically accepted much of the behavioralist revolution, and is generally willing to look skeptically at standard, rational-actor models. He already did an episode with Dan Ariely, but something tells one with Slee would be even better.
