I was willing to let the author count Arrow, Debreu, Samuelson etc. as rational actor economists, perhaps also Savage, von Neuman&Morgenstern and so forth. Even then, that's not nearly 150 years and is - as you say - reigned in soon after by bounded rationality, experimental econ and behavioral in general.

I mean, Karl Marx and people like Veblen would also fall under this umbrella.

Truly, the author has an ego, we can say that much.
