Opis

The Literate Economist illustrates how the ideas of the great economists not only influenced societies but were themselves shaped by their cultural milieu. Understanding the economists' visions -- lucidly and vividly unveiled by Canterbery -- allows readers to place economics within a broader community of ideas. Magically, the author links Adam Smith to Isaac Newton's idea of an orderly universe. F Soon Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby to Thorstein Veblen, John Steinbeck's Graces of Wrath to the Great Depression, and Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities to Reaganomics.
