The article does not pay enough respect to other fields that focus specifically on behavior change management - i.e., public health, change managment, psychology, etc. I also agree that supporting arguments are too scarce to support the author's main argument, that Interaction design can solve the world's problems. Finally, I don't see the topics in the title fully reflected in the body of the article.
As far as domain of IxD, I can see that it fits in, but that's based on my own opinion not the author's paper. I wouldn't go so far to define IxD by behavioral economics or behavior change, and I see defining IxD by Behavioral Economics as limiting as defining IxD as strictly living in the digital domain. However, I would say that attention to human behavior is a part of the definition of IxD, even if it's in my own little world. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
