The book offers new and refreshing insights, ranging from the
development of early economic thinking to economic aspects and
concepts in the works of classical thinkers such as Thomas
Hobbes, John Locke and Karl Marx, to the role of economic
reasoning in contemporary policies of art and health care. With
economic rationalities as the read thread, the reader is
offered a unique chance of historical self-awareness and
recollection of how economic rationality became the powerful
ideological and moral force that it is today.
