As his career progressed, E. K. Hunt's writings gained recognition for their incisive critique of economics and economic theory. Notably, his collaboration with Ralph C. D'Arge led to the publication of "Environmental Pollution, Externalities, and Conventional Economic Wisdom: A Critique" in 1971. In this work, Hunt delved into the concept of externalities and contextualism, challenging orthodox economic perspectives on environmental issues.{{cite web|url=http://www.econ.utah.edu/econ_menu.htm?menuitem=44 |title=E.

Another significant publication was "Property and Prophets: The Evolution of Economic Institutions and Ideologies." Initially released in 1972, this seminal work, which has gone through multiple editions, including the seventh edition in 2003, provided a comprehensive analysis of the historical development of economic institutions and offered an alternative framework for understanding economic ideologies.{{cite book |last= Hunt |first= E.

Together with Howard J. Sherman, E. K. Hunt authored "Economics: An Introduction to Traditional and Progressive Views."
