"This is an exhilarating book - a call for an intellectual revolution made with brio, unstinting reason, and an exciting proof of concept." - Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor, Harvard University and author of The Language Instinct, The Blank Slate, and The Stuff of Thought

"Gottschall is a major star in the emerging field of literary Darwinism. Literature, Science, and a New Humanities makes a brilliant and passionate case that literary studies needs to adopt the research methods of the natural and social sciences in order to combat the intellectual sclerosis that has set in as theory s grip has weakened. The book is beautifully written, highly intelligent, and morally bracing - it is at once a strong challenge, a how-to manual, a manifesto, and a clarion call to change." - Blakey Vermeule, Associate Professor of English, Stanford University

"David Goalstone is an extraordinary economist whose focus on the economics of survival, long overdue, indeed has come. The focus for Goalstone's research is the subsistence economy, the economy of necessity and sufficiency, and the effort to develop an economics of survival. His approach is highly original, relating to the very foundations of economics. A basic thesis can be formulated as follows: there is an economy of subsistence and an economy of middle class growth, and one does not necessarily lead to the other. Goalstone has shown a way of filling in that gap, taking up old themes in the science of economics, back to Mirabeau/Quesnay, Steuart, Smith and Malthus. Every page is filled with originality, drawing on his rich experience. The book, indeed filling a gap, deserves a huge readership."
 - Johan Galtung,Founder-Director of TRANSCEND: A Peace and Development Network

"Goalstone brings a much-needed fresh look at the conditions for economic success at the level of whole societies. Examining issues as diverse as population dynamics, political change, and the economic conditions for the reproduction of societies, he challenges us to re-evaluate our foundational beliefs regarding the conditions for economic development.'
 - Jack A. Goldstone, Hazel Professor of Public Policy, George Mason University

"Goalstone's brilliant work on emerging market economies deserves a wide audience and careful consideration as a mechanism for understanding the problems of economic development. He posits the need for least-developed countries to achieve survival conditions as the fundamental basis for economic progress. He offers a clearly reasoned, powerful argument. His carefully reasoned view of the building blocks for development, and the needs that must be fulfilled to launch on a sustained development process both enlighten us with respect to experiences of least-developed countries and suggests steps to take to move in that direction."
 - Robert Grosse, Conti Chair of International Business, Thunderbird Graduate School

"Relevant existing works are really scarce, if there are any, because macrofoundations of economic development have been unexplored by modern economists. No contemporary book I know of can be considered as a real market rival of this book."
 - Phoebe Koundouri, Lecturer in Economics, University of Reading
