You read that right. Dov Seidman argues that Philosophy better prepares students for the current state of the business world that Econ. In short, Philosophy trains you to understand broad trends and large institutional relationships - and that, not specialization in narrow economic theories - is what the business world requires in the face of climate change, economic crises, global consumption habits, etc.

And he argues the point, not surprisingly, by pointing out that Adam Smith was - shocking - a philosopher, not an economist.

The financial and climate crises, global consumption habits, and other 21st-century challenges call for a "killer app." I think I've found it: philosophy...
...The Wealth of Nations, a book that serves as the intellectual platform for capitalism, lays out how markets should be organized and how people should behave in such markets. The book's author, Adam Smith, was not an economist, as many believe, but a philosopher. Smith was chairman of the Moral Philosophy Dept. at Glasgow University when he wrote the book

Well, that's true, but so were all the major intellectuals of the 18th century. OK, Smith was probably more similar to his good friend David Hume, than some of the others who called themselves 'natural' philosophers, but this argument just doesn't hold much water.
His broader point is interesting, even if the specific evidence he presented is not as strong as he would like: over specialization in undergraduate education, which threatens the very ideal of a 'liberal education,' has changed our culture. I don't know if I can make a direct connection between it and our failure to deal with the "financial and climate crises" and "global consumption habits," but I can see how those points might be connected.
