Human Desire and Economic Satisfaction: Essays on… di Tibor Scitovsky
Scitovsky is the most under-appreciated intellectuals of all time. He took several of the findings of a psychological area called experimental aesthetics and combined these with basic principles of his own discipline, economics. The result is a set of fascinating insights and a prescription to change society's course from one of ruinous environmental self-destruction to an uplifting neoclassical world where the arts are celebrated.This is a collection of articles that were originally published elsewhere and is a fine introduction to Scitovsky.… (altro)
This is a remarkable book in which Scitovsky draws on his knowledge of economics, the arts, and psychology in the form of Berlyne's experimental aesthetics. He has many provocative and original insights. His perspective remains current, especially insofar as they apply to consumerism, cultural poverty, resource depletion and the imperative to discover a sustainable way of life.
