Description :
A group of experienced economists explain the main concepts of economic thought through examples taken from world literature: a challenge and a success. This is a challenge and a success. To be placed in everyone's hands because economics concerns us all and the writers are not mistaken. Étienne de Callataÿ and Luc Leruth have convinced a number of other eminent economist colleagues to take up the challenge of putting their discipline to the test in literature, and at the same time to explain and discuss a number of notions and concepts specific to the most demanding economic thinking through a selection of works of world literature. Among these storytellers who know how to count, we can mention the names of Denis de Crombrugghe, Isabelle de Laminne, André de Palma, Victor Ginsburgh, Georges Hübner, Florence Jaumotte, Danielle Meuwly, Pierre Nicolas, Pierre Pestieau, Jean-Philippe Platteau, Patrick Van Cayseele, Herman Van Rompuy, Luc Wathieu and Serge Wibaut.
