Description: | Select Guide Rating John Ramsden’s fascinating, entertaining history of eleven great poets who made significant contributions to economic theory and practice, from Shelley to Hilaire Belloc and John Ruskin. Shelley called poets, ‘the unacknowledged legislators of the world’. Here John Ramsden describes their now largely forgotten contribution to economics. From Defoe to Pound, poets looked at the economic orthodoxy of their day, saw much that was unacceptable, and tried to suggest alternatives. Some of their suggestions led onto perilous ground; but many of their criticisms have since been vindicated. Often witty and always opinionated, these 11 writers offer fresh perspectives on the economic theories that still rule our lives. |
