Reza (or anyone)—what are the best accounts of the rise of Rational Choice? (There are some great history of science things, e.g., "Rationalizing Capitalist Democracy", but that one, at least, is more of a historical account, not a philosophical one.)

Jason Blakely's book 'How Economics Becomes Ideology: The Uses and Abuses of Rational Choice Theory' is not bad but I will dig up some good shorter texts on this topic.

Yes, hence that Thatcher quote. The acc-y stuff ends up in a similar position from the opposite direction, reading Capital (esp. Vol III) as a total description of society to the point that individual choice, (not to mention Nature, or the state), becomes irrelevant.
