The untold story of the nineteenth-century novelist who outearned Jane Austen and wove provocative theories into her fictionchanging economics foreverSmialek, with the analytical rigor and narrative drive that made her one of the finest economics journalists of her generation, has rescued Maria Edgeworth from a historical amnesia that was, as this book makes clear, far from accidental. Janet Yellen, Former Chair of the Federal Reserve and United States Secretary of the TreasuryAt the end of the eighteenth century, Europe faced revolutions, famine, and war. It was out of this chaos that the field of economics was bornand while that founding has for centuries been attributed almost entirely to men, they were only part of the story.
