If what is required in economics is a new philosophy, then perhaps asking a philosopher/ethicist who also has an understanding of economics and economic theory is probably the first and best logical step in solving our current economic problems. And if you can find one that also has a good knowledge of the world’s wisdom traditions that would be an even better individual to consult.  If the fundamental direction of capitalism is up as Minsky said, the trinitarian integration of economics, philosophy/ethics and wisdom would be a reflectively ascendant affirmation of that truth regarding profit making economic systems.
