Description
Combining the fields of evolutionary economics and the humanities, this book examines McCarthy's literary works as a significant case study demonstrating our need to recognise the interrelated complexities of economic policies, environmental crises, and how public policy and rhetoric shape our value systems.
In a world recovering from a global economic crisis and poised on the brink of another, studying the methods by which literature interrogates narratives of inevitability around global economic inequality and eco-disaster is ever more relevant.

Critics praise Cooper's interdisciplinary approach, blending economic, environmental, and cultural analysis to reveal McCarthy's critique of American economic imperialism and consumer capitalism. The study is noted for its rich insights and its exploration of ethical care for humans, animals, and the environment, as well as the roles of storytelling and nomadism in fostering such ethics.
