Á leið til Nástranda

Einar Már Jónsson teaches Icelandic and medieval studies at the Sorbonne University in Paris. He has also been studying economic history and this two volume book is a sequel to his book Örlagaborgin (2012). 

This book is a concise overview of the history of capitalism and liberalism, as well as the philosophical roots of both, including Darwinism and theories of language. The story begins with Sherlock Holmes investigating the mysterious death of liberalism near the turn of the 20th century, before the role passes into the hands of the Russian Prince Basil.

In this lively and provocative novel, we follow the death, resurrection, and return of the departed. The fierce propaganda of liberal thinkers against humanity and equality is revealed in their own words, given full voice within the narrative.
