About the Author
Gary Saul Morson is a distinguished literary scholar and critic whose work bridges the humanities and social sciences, offering profound insights into the human condition through the lens of literature. A professor emeritus at Northwestern University, he has dedicated his career to exploring how narrative and ethical reasoning can enrich economic thought and cultural understanding. Morson's analyses of Russian literature, particularly the works of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, reveal the complexities of moral choice and societal dynamics, challenging reductive models in modern discourse. In his acclaimed book 'Cents and Sensibility: What Economics Can Learn from the Humanities,' he argues persuasively for integrating humanistic perspectives into economic theory, emphasizing empathy, context, and the unpredictability of human behavior. With a writing style that is both erudite and accessible, Morson continues to influence interdisciplinary studies, reminding us that true wisdom lies in the stories we tell.
