ISBN Shakespeare's Twenty-First Century Economics ( The Morality of Love and Money ) 232 pages English

Based on the proven maxim that money makes the world go round this study drawing from Shakespeare's texts presents a lexicon of common words as well as a variety of familiar familial and cultural sitations in an economic context. Making constant recourse to well-known material from Shakespeare's plays Turner demonstrates that terms of money and value permeate our minds and lives even in our most mundane moments. His book offers a new humane evolutionary economics that fully expresses the moral spiritual and aesthetic relationships among persons and between humans and nature. Playful and incisive Turner's book offers a way to engage the wisdom of Shakespeare in everyday life in a trenchant prose that is accessible to scholars and to the general reader.
