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.

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.
