Economics of Good and Evil-The Quest for Economic Meaning from Gilgamesh to Wall StreetTomas Sedlacek
Think the quality of writing needs much improvement.
There’s a song that says that rules and laws are created by lawyers and poets. Poets (in the wider meaning of the term) give rules meaning and spirit; lawyers give them form and letter. Similarly, we may say that a great economist can be either an outstanding mathematician or an excellent philosopher. It appears to me that we have given lawyers and mathematicians too large a role at the expense of poets and philosophers. We have exchanged too much wisdom for exactness, too much humanity for mathematization.-Sedlacek, Tomas; Havel, Vaclav; Havel, Václav (2011-06-03).
