Gary Saul Morson argues that economics often suffers from a narrow reliance on mathematical models, neglecting the nuanced insights provided by literature and the humanities. By examining the works of great novelists alongside behavioral economic theories, the author demonstrates how narrative and moral complexity offer a more accurate understanding of human decision-making.
