Tomas Sedlacek has shaken the study of economics as few ever have Named one of the Young Guns & one of the five hot minds in economics by the Yale Economic Review he serves on the National Economic Council in Prague where his provocative writing has achieved bestseller status How has he done it? By arguing a simple almost heretical proposition economics is ultimately about good & evil In The Economics of Good & Evil Sedlacek radically rethinks his field challenging our assumptions about the world Economics is touted as a science a value-free mathematical inquiry he writes but it's actually a cultural phenomenon a product of our civilization It began within philosophy-Adam Smith himself not only wrote The Wealth of Nations but also The Theory of Moral Sentiments-and economics as Sedlacek shows is woven out of history myth religion & ethics Even the most sophisticated mathematical model Sedlacek writes is de facto a story a parable our effort to (rationally) grasp the world around us Economics not only describes the world but establishes normative standards identifying ideal conditions Science he claims is a system of beliefs to which we are committed To grasp the beliefs underlying economics he breaks out of the field's confines with a tour de force exploration of economic thinking broadly defined over the millennia He ranges from the epic of Gilgamesh & the Old Testament to the emergence of Christianity from Descartes & Adam Smith to the consumerism in Fight Club Throughout he asks searching meta-economic questions What is the meaning & the point of economics?
