Friedrich Nietzsche¿s influence on the development of modern social sciences has not been well documented. This volume reconsiders some of Nietzsche¿s writings on economics and the science of state, pioneering a line of research up to now unavailable in English. The authors intend to provoke conversation and inspire research on the role that this much misunderstood philosopher and cultural critic has played ¿ or should play ¿ in the history of economics.
