In a dazzling saga spanning generations and continents, Neo's epic journey takes us from Chicago to New York to London, from Wall Street to Burning Man, from the factories of the Rust Belt to the farmlands of India, introducing us to the economic minds and political figures who have shaped our world, everyday people, and even runaway monsters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn entertaining magical realist romp, \u003ci\u003eEveryman\u003c\/i\u003e touches on the most significant economic events in global history, from the Great Depression to the 2008 Financial Crisis, Britain's Brexit vote to the inexorable rise of populism globally. Drawing on moral psychology, philosophy, evolutionary biology, and beyond, it animates the possibilities for how we might build on our capacity for cooperation to reinvent our broken institutions--and ourselves. By breaking form to ignite our moral imaginations, it presents a vision for rewriting our modern-day mythology, our economic theory. \u003ci\u003eEveryman \u003c\/i\u003easks: by recasting economics' strawman protagonist as a flesh-and-blood character, can we turn the plot of our lives from an inevitable tragedy to a redemption story and alter the destiny of our civilization?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntara Haldar is a globetrotting economist, philosopher, and lawyer.
