Property and markets in Elmer Kelton novels

Abstract: Literature is not for clear answers. Literature is for complicated questions. There is vital empirical data in literary texts—not data about economic fact, though there is some of that as well, but data about how people felt and thought and wrote about economic and market issues. If we care about that, if that is as important as Deirdre McCloskey has argued, we have a responsibility to find that data, to write about it, to share it, and to teach it (Skwire in Cato Unbound, 2012 . http://www.cato-unbound.org/2012/07/02/sarah-skwire/bonfire-cli ches ).
