I don't see an email for you so I'll just say this here:
Your book and your writing changed my life in incredibly positive ways. It "came" to me at just the right time in my life. I think the book is a genuinely creative act in the "existential" sense and appreciate it as such.
I know that is weird for a non-economist (and non-professional) to say about a book about heterodox economics but you tied together a ton of threads that I had in similar ways and it was very comforting to see.
The stuff in the book about ideology, epistemology, and human psychology is great. To see you apply this to your discipline in similar ways to the way I tie it into my general life philosophy was awesome. I hope your editor did not try to dissuade you from including it.
I also hope that you eventually write a "broader" book (on something "wider" than explicit economics) and incorporate all these themes.
So glad to see you've started a stack!
