HUR FÅR DU DIN MIDDAG? lyder ekonomins grundläggande fråga. Det är i själva verket en ytterst komplicerad fråga. Nationalekonomins fader Adam Smith skrev att slaktaren, bagaren och bryggaren tillverkar sina produkter, inte för att de är snälla utan eftersom de tjänar på det. Det är egenintresset som ställer middagen på bordet åt oss, skrev Adam Smith. Men han glömde att det i själva verket var hans mamma som ställde fram den åt honom varje kväll. KATRINE MARÇAL är författare och skribent i Dagens Nyheter.

I am sure that what I remember is not necessarily what actually happened, but I can only write what I remember.Wildly inventive and magnificently surreal, The Smiths: A Novella recounts the impact of an unconventional pop group from Manchester on one man's life. Taking the form of a flâneuring journey through the landscape of memory, our anonymous protagonist is accompanied by the iconic French actress Carole Bouquet, who becomes his guide and interlocutor, asking about his life during the years The Smiths were together and the profound effect of their music upon him.As the unlikely couple perambulate from the old Selfridge Hotel to West Hollywood by way of a park bench in Cavendish Square, their conversation interrogates and celebrates the joys of outlandish pop genius, the zealous dedication of fans and the cult of outsider disaffection given uproarious voice. As such, this is not a book about The Smiths but one that emerges from their music, their emotional register and their literary resonance.Michael Bracewell's novella-cum-fairy tale is at once deeply romantic and laced with comedy - not unlike the band themselves - and perhaps (in fictional form) the most astute and celebratory portrait of The Smiths to date.

»Smart, rolig, läsvärd.« Margaret Atwood
»En av årets mest tankeväckande böcker.« The Guardian
»Hur får du din middag?« Så lyder ekonomins grundläggande fråga, och det är i själva verket en ytterst komplicerad fråga. Nationalekonomins fader Adam Smith skrev att slaktaren, bagaren och bryggaren tillverkar sina produkter, inte för att de är snälla utan eftersom de tjänar på det. Det är egenintresset som ställer middagen på bordet åt oss, menade Adam Smith. Men han glömde att det i själva verket var hans mamma som ställde fram den åt honom varje kväll.
Ur tanken på egenintresset föddes den ekonomiske mannen som begrepp: Homo Economicus. Homo Economicus är rationell, objektiv, kalkylerande och oberoende. Ekonomerna hävdar att detta rimmar väl med grundläggande mänskliga drag. Men allt som karakteriserar Homo Economicus är egenskaper som vi har lärt oss att associera till manlighet. Är det en slump?
De senaste decennierna har den ekonomiske mannen dominerat, domderat och lagt sig i det mesta. Det finns inget språk som tas på lika stort allvar som ekonomins och det appliceras på allt större delar av vårt liv. Samma typ av analys som förklarar priset på purjolök ska förklara våra inre liv. Med hjälp av ekonomi kan man räkna ut rubbet: från fördelarna med vaniljglass till människolivets värde.
Katrine Kielos är ekonomijournalist och författare. Vem lagade Adam Smiths middag? utgavs första gången 2012 och nominerades till Augustpriset. Kielos har också skrivit böckerna Att uppfinna världen (2020) och En kvinnas värde (2025).

Harri Salminen har jobbat med Juha Hirvonen som bland annat mentor, partner, arbetsledare och chaufför. De har känt varandra sedan mer än 30 år. Så även hans far. Under många år har Harri haft nästan dagliga samtal med Juha om allt mellan himmel och jord. På något sätt har Harri varit hans ventil i och vid sidan av alla företagsaffärer han hållit på med. Lite grand har nog Harri känt sig som en far för honom. Harri hjälpte till med de uppgifter han bad honom om, oftast för att han behövde pengar till sin dagliga överlevnad. Vi måste avslöja från början att vi inte sett någon positiv effekt av sprit i någon form. Vad som idag är kriminellt har vi också haft anledning att fundera mycket över. Är det männen som lever arrivisternas herrgårdsliv som Kavaljerer eller Gatsbybaroner eller är det myndigheternas okunskap och ovilja att ta reda på vad som egentligen ligger bakom. Det har varit många «vårfloder» som sopat igen spåren i gyttjan och samtidigt gett huvudpersonerna möjlighet att hoppa till nästa tuva för att rädda det som räddas kan. Här finns både bråd och oförklarlig död, men också en värre långsamt utdragen och förlamande död, såväl för huvudpersonerna, som deras affärer. Frågan är om det värsta är lidandet för alla offren i kretsen av fruar, barn, anställda och seriösa hederliga människor. Många är tysta eller tystade vittnen med gömda och förhoppningsvis glömda minnen. Sverige 2010 MMX/ 2015 MMXV/2020 MMXX Martin Gremeur (Harri Salminen och Björn Norlin - in memoriam)

Mormonism's founder, Joseph Smith, claimed to have translated ancient scriptures. He dictated an American Bible from metal plates reportedly buried by ancient Jews in a nearby hill, and produced an Egyptian "Book of Abraham" derived from funerary papyri he extracted from a collection of mummies he bought from a traveling showman. In addition, he rewrote sections of the King James Version as a "New Translation" of the Bible. Smith and his followers used the term translation to describe the genesis of these English scriptures, which remain canonical for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Whether one believes him or not, the discussion has focused on whether Smith's English texts represent literal translations of extant source documents. On closer inspection, though, Smith's translations are far more metaphysical than linguistic. In Joseph Smith's Translation, Samuel Morris Brown argues that these translations express the mystical power of language and scripture to interconnect people across barriers of space and time, especially in the developing Mormon temple liturgy. He shows that Smith was devoted to an ancient metaphysics--especially the principle of correspondence, the concept of "as above, so below"--that provided an infrastructure for bridging the human and the divine as well as for his textual interpretive projects. Joseph Smith's projects of metaphysical translation place Mormonism at the productive edge of the transitions associated with shifts toward "secular modernity." This transition into modern worldviews intensified, complexly, in nineteenth-century America. The evolving legacies of Reformation and Enlightenment were the sea in which early Mormons swam, says Brown. Smith's translations and the theology that supported them illuminate the power and vulnerability of the Mormon critique of American culture in transition. This complex critique continues to resonate and illuminate to the present day.

Renowned historian Richard Lyman Bushman presents a vibrant history of the objects that gave birth to a new religion.According to Joseph Smith, in September of 1823 an angel appeared to him and directed him to a hill near his home. Buried there Smith found a box containing a stack of thin metal sheets, gold in color, about six inches wide, eight inches long, piled six or so inches high, bound together by large rings, and covered with what appeared to be ancient engravings. Exactly four years later, the angel allowed Smith to take the plates and instructed him to translate them into English. When the text was published, a new religion was born. The plates have had a long and active life, and the question of their reality has hovered over them from the beginning. Months before the Book of Mormon was published, newspapers began reporting on the discovery of a "Golden Bible." Within a few years over a hundred articles had appeared. Critics denounced Smith as a charlatan for claiming to have a wondrous object that he refused to show, while believers countered by pointing to witnesses who said they saw the plates. Two hundred years later the mystery of the gold plates remains. In this book renowned historian of Mormonism Richard Lyman Bushman offers a cultural history of the gold plates. Bushman examines how the plates have been imagined by both believers and critics--and by treasure-seekers, novelists, artists, scholars, and others--from Smith's first encounter with them to the present. Why have they been remembered, and how have they been used? And why do they remain objects of fascination to this day? By examining these questions, Bushman sheds new light on Mormon history and on the role of enchantment in the modern world.

This book examines the influence that Adam Smith's philosophy had on his economics, drawing on the neglected parts of Smith's writings to show that the political and economic theories built logically on his morals. It analyses the significance of his stoic beliefs, his notions of art and music, astronomy, philosophy and war, and shows that Smith's invisible hand was part of a 'system' that was meant to replace medieval Christianity with ethic of virtue in this world rather than the next. Smith was motivated primarily by a political ideal, a moral version of liberalism. He rejected the political philosophy of the Greeks and Christians as authoritarian and unworldly, but contrary to what many economists believe, he also rejected the amoral liberalism that was being advocated by his countryman and friend David Hume. Far from being myopic about self-love, Smith arrived at his theories of free trade, economic growth, and alienation via his reinterpretation of Stoic virtue. Of interest to economists, philosophers, political theorists, sociologists and lawyers concerned with jurisprudence, this book is clearly written, and its innovations reveal the hitherto hidden unity in Smith's overarching system of morals, politics and economics.
