Description

The Eclipse of Action: Tragedy and Political Economy Richard Halpern explores the complex relationship between action and production in tragedy, tracing its evolution from ancient Greece to modern times. This wide-ranging study examines how economic thought has influenced tragic drama, and vice versa. From Aristotle to Adam Smith, Halpern delves into the works of influential thinkers who have shaped our understanding of human happiness and the role of action in it. He places these figures alongside playwrights such as Aeschylus, Marlowe, Shakespeare, and Beckett, revealing the intricate connections between economic thought and tragic drama. By examining the interactions between action and production, Halpern sheds new light on the enduring nature of tragedy in modern times.
