'The Economics of Good and Evil' is Tomas Sedlacek's reflection on how human understanding of the world has evolved from an economic perspective. The author proposes to view economics not as a strict scientific discipline, but as a cultural phenomenon, a product of our civilization. He draws on key historical sources and the works of great thinkers—from Sumerian epics and the Old Testament to ancient Greek and Christian literature, from René Descartes and Adam Smith to the modern era of postmodernism—to illustrate the development of the economic worldview. In his study, Sedlacek employs an interdisciplinary approach, convincing the reader that the concepts and ideas underlying economics lie beyond its own discipline. Thus, Sedlacek examines issues of metaeconomics that are directly linked to history, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies. The author's 'deconstruction' of economic history makes it clear that economics, at its core, deals with questions of good and evil.
