Description
Bread and Circus is a powerful collection of autobiographical poems that challenge the economics of class and its failures for those rendered invisible by it. Airea D. Matthews, a former student of economics, draws on her own experiences to critique 18th-century Scottish economist Adam Smith's theory of the invisible hand. By juxtaposing redacted texts by Smith with autobiographical prose and poems, Matthews demonstrates that self-interest fails when people become commodities themselves. This layered collection explores the area where theory and reality meet, offering a nuanced examination of American inequality. With poems ranging from tragic to humorous, Bread and Circus is a thought-provoking contribution to an ongoing conversation about economic outcomes and their impact on individuals and communities. Airea D. Matthews's work offers a unique perspective on the failures of self-interest in economics, making this collection a relevant and ambitious read for those interested in exploring the intersection of theory and reality.
