About the Author
Morton Schapiro is a distinguished economist and educator whose work bridges the gap between rigorous economic analysis and the profound insights of the humanities. As president emeritus of Northwestern University and former president of Williams College, he has dedicated his career to exploring how economic principles intersect with ethical, cultural, and philosophical considerations to inform better decision-making in policy, business, and personal life. In his acclaimed book Cents and Sensibility: What Economics Can Learn from the Humanities, Schapiro argues for a more humane approach to economics, drawing on literature, history, and art to enrich economic thought. A prolific scholar and speaker, he continues to advocate for interdisciplinary education that fosters empathy and wisdom alongside quantitative expertise.
