A Humane Economy offers an understandable and compelling explanation of how economies operate. Over and over, the great Swiss economist stresses one simple point: You cannot separate economic principles from human behavior.
In Dante's time, scholars were, at least in one respect, better off than they are today. They all wrote their books in the same language, namely Latin, and thus did not have to worry about translations. Otherwise, one might surmise that Dante would have reserved to scholars an especially gruesome spoit in his Inferno: to punish them for their vanity-a failing reputedly not altogether alien to themthey would be made to· read translations of their own works into languages with which they were familiar. That this is, as a rule, indeed torture is well known to anyone who has had the experience.
