Product Description

Product Description

In this text, Hans Christoph Binswanger looks at "Faust" through the lens of economics, aiming to enlarge our understanding of this epic by explaining Goethe's preoccupation with financial matters. He interprets "Faust" as a warning about the dangers of pursuing endless wealth. It should provide a useful resource for Germanic and Goethe scholars, social and cultural historians, and economists alike.
