«El reloj, el gato y Madagascar» is the humanist economics essay by José Luis Sampedro, published by Debate in hardback (99 pages, in Spanish).
José Luis Sampedro argues that economics is a social science and that ignoring this, as many renowned economists do, has serious consequences. Against the coldness with which it is usually treated, he proposes a human approach and reminds us that economic knowledge without a social dimension is only a tool, useful but insufficient.
The text was originally published as an article in 1983; this edition includes illustrations by Miriam Sugranyes.
Suitable for readers who want to approach economics from a social and philosophical perspective, as well as for followers of José Luis Sampedro.
José Luis Sampedro Sáez was a Spanish economist and writer who advocated an economy "more humane, more caring, able to help develop the dignity of peoples". Academician of the Real Academia Española since 1990, he was the recipient of the Order of Arts and Letters of Spain, the Menéndez Pelayo International Prize (2010) and the Spanish Literature National Prize (2011). He became an inspiration for the anti-austerity movement in Spain.
