WEALTH AND POVERTY are the prime concerns of economics, but they are subjects too vast and vital to be left to economists alone. Although economists have provided me with some of my most valued counsel-and I will be acknowledging them in numbers- -this book is in part an essay on the limitations of contemporary economics in analyzing the sources of creativity and progress in all economies.
