Artists' writings on the economy, an anthology

What happens to the economy when it is thought out, invented and dreamed up by artists? We know little about it, but many were those who, from the end of the 19th century until today, became economists for a time, going so far as to write veritable treatises whose stated ambition was to renew the discipline from top to bottom. Whether they have taken a university education in economics, constructed their theoretical conception of art in dialogue with economists, or developed a theoretical system in their own right, these artists provide us with a rich and singular vision, both of the economic thought of their time than on current issues. Value, work, money and capitalism – so many themes scrutinized and revisited by these texts, which this book aims to anthology.
