Synopsis
The book that took the mystery out of economics and put free will back in.
When Adam Smith pioneered modern economics in the eighteenth century, it was a branch of philosophy. By the close of the nineteenth century, economists had discovered the usefulness of mathematical tools from classical mechanics, and by the end of the twentieth visions of clicking pool balls reigned supreme. Except for one insightful critic: George Brockway. First writing for The New Leader and then in this seminal text, Brockway skewered mainstream economists who assumed away the free will of participants in the economy.This book establishes an economics in which men and women are not ceramic spheres subject only to cold, mathematical forecasts, but free human beings who are responsible for their actions and can find in this critical supposition the foundations of mores, morals, and morale. Now thoroughly revised, it is for anyone who has suspected that the economy is too important to be left to economists.

hardcover. Dust Jacket Condition: DJ VG+: clean, unclipped. first edition. 8vo 479pp. from front flap: "This is a book for businesspeople, poets, politicians, critics, engineers, scientists, lawyers, doctors, and plain citizens. [. . .] It places economics firmly among the humanities. Like all the humanities, economics studies the doings of human beings with the aim of understanding mores, morals, and morale. In contrast, the Economic Man of traditional economics is selfishness incarnate. Most of the so-called laws of economics have been deduced from his consistently self-serving behavior, with the result that the discipline seems to be concerned solely with things--resources, the gross domestic product, the bottom line, some sort of equilibrium--rather than with human beings. In any future economics, George Brockway proposes, this concern will be reversed. Human beings will be more important than things, and what Carlyle quite properly called the dismal science will take on a new and humane aspect." #02460. Book VG+: clean, square, tight, unmarked.
