Abstract
This review essay considers recent humanistic scholarship, chiefly historical, that raises important questions about the place of the economic in a broader vision of social life. The essay is divided into three sections: 1. Liberal Protectionism covers an important book from Nicholas Mulder on the history of economic sanctions; 2. The Long History of Social Life discusses the recent contribution to social theory by David Graeber and David Wengrow; and 3. Inflation Retheorized calls for an economic critical response to recent developments in macroeconomic theories of inflation.
