Re  
Wynyard Hillier's post:

That 's a pretty good comment on Hayek for someone who hasn't read him. 
You've got him I think, through your Foucault/exegesis. 

There is an interesting connection with Behaviourism. There was an 
article or speech by one of the Public choice gurus in which he quite 
seriously offered to give up the rationality component of homo 
economicus in return for the ability to incorporate behaviourism. what 
behaviourism had to offer was the attraction of scientific credibility. 
You could get some laboratory evidence, which is in rather short supply 
for h. ec.
