Economics and LiteratureA Comparative and Interdisciplinary Approach\nAuthor(s): ??nla Akdere, Christine Baron\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367886202, 978-0367886202\nSynopsis\nSince the Middle Ages, literature has portrayed the economic world in poetry, drama, stories and novels. The complexity of human realities highlights crucial aspects of the economy. The nexus linking characters to their economic environment is central in a new genre, the \""economic novel\"", that puts forth economic choices and events to narrate social behavior, individual desires, and even non-economic decisions. For many authors, literary narration also offers a means to express critical viewpoints about economic development, for example in regards to its ecological or social ramifications.\n\nConflicts of economic interest have social, political and moral causes and consequences. This book shows how economic and literary texts deal .
