Abstract
A humanistic viewpoint of social economics in the 21st century highlights four challenges facing the discipline today. These are economic rationality, ecological sustainability, international free trade and the problem of absentee ownership. All four issues must be addressed so that social economic thinking can look at humans as persons in a community. All four issues also reflect the need to move from an atomistic market economy to a social economy centered on humans and their welfare.
