May I suggest a very interesting book An End To Suffering: The Buddha in the Modern World by Pankaj Mishra. Mishra is not an economist, but his book ranges over a huge amount of both Buddhist and Western philosophy. I think there are some nuggets, particularly in his discussion of Adam Smith, of some ideas that could be developed into a much more interesting discussion. I see some close parallels between Keynes' Economic Possibilities of Our Grandchildren and Buddhist thought. Also parallels with Galbraith's Affluent Society.
