“Economics of Good and Evil: The Quest for Economic Meaning from Gilgamesh to Wall Street” An understanding of Economics as the morals of good and evil, not as an absolute science.
Professor Tomas Sedlacek is the chief macroeconomic strategist at CSOB [the largest bank in Czechoslovakia], a member of the country’s National Economic Council, & a lecturer of economics at Charles Univ., Prague, the Univ. of New York in Prague & the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. Prof. Sedlacek has shaken the study of economics; he was named among the “Young Guns” and one of the “five hot minds in economics” by the Yale Economic Review. His recent book, “Economics of Good and Evil: The Quest for Economic Meaning from Gilgamesh to Wall Street” quickly became a best seller in Europe; it completely rethinks the field & belief of economics as solely an objective science and re-introduces the moral principles required for a humanist view of economics that is truly progressive and can benefit all.
