About the Author
Edward Skidelsky is a distinguished philosopher and author whose work bridges economics, ethics, and the human condition. Educated at Oxford and holding a doctorate in philosophy, he has taught at prestigious institutions and contributed to public discourse on the limits of material wealth in modern society. In his seminal book 'How Much is Enough?: Money and the Good Life,' co-authored with his brother Robert, Skidelsky challenges the relentless pursuit of economic growth, advocating for a return to ancient notions of the 'good life' defined by sufficiency rather than excess. His writing draws on historical thinkers like Aristotle and Keynes to critique contemporary capitalism, urging readers to reconsider what truly constitutes prosperity and fulfillment in an age of inequality and environmental strain.
