Opis

This study examines four major British and American novels in view of key concepts from the mainstream tradition of neo-classical economics. Studies of the novel widely address its connections to capitalism, yet literary critics and theorists rarely make reference to neo-classical perspectives, which have held a key position in the formal analysis of the marketplace for over a century.
