Abstract
The Other-interest and Self-interest landscapes have led to the metaphorical Isles of the InstituEcon (those who practice Neoinstitutional Economics) and the NeoClassEcon (those who practice neoclassical economics, especially as represented in Microeconomics). The MetaEcon (those who practice Metaeconomics), who operate on their own Isle with the BehavEcon (those who practice behavioral economics), have proposed bringing the Isles back together, as in integrating Neoinstitutional and Neoclassical Economics. The hope of the MetaEcon is to someday produce a new continent with best ideas from all the Isles at work.
