Is the economy a machine? Adam Smith created that metaphor and three centuries of economists and pundits have followed his lead. But not Julie A. Nelson, who argues that an economy is a society's beating heart. Human care and emotion, human relationships and morality are at the core of an economy, themes explored in her provocative and accessible Economics for Humans, our free e-book for March.

“Economics, as it is often taught today, portrays us as homo economicus—someone who doesn’t vote in presidential elections, doesn’t return lost wallets, and doesn’t leave tips when dining out of town. Julie Nelson reminds us that most people aren’t really like that. She helps point the way to a richer, more descriptive way of thinking about economic life.”—Robert H. Frank, author of Luxury Fever: Money and Happiness in an Era of Excess
