Marc Shell, Prof. of Comparative Lit at Harvard and a MacArthur award 
winner, has contributed some fascinating work on the history of economics. 
His Web site is http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~amciv/faculty/shell.shtml. 
 
>From that site: 
 
Marc Shell is Professor of English and of Comparative Literature. He works 
in three general areas. First is aesthetics and economics. In this area his 
publications include a two-part theoretical study of the internalization of 
monetary form in literature and philosophy: The Economy of Literature 
(Johns Hopkins, 1993) pays special attention to ancient Greek, Roman, 
French, and English works and Money, Language, and Thought (Johns Hopkins, 
1993) focuses on medieval Europe, the United States, and twentieth-century 
Germany. In this same area belongs a two-part study of the visual arts: Art 
& Money (Chicago, 1995) and OVERDUE (Chicago, forthcoming). 
 
(The other 2 areas are not "economic.") 
 
When I edited the Regional Review for the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, 
Shell contributed a nice article on "Money and Art: Issues of 
Representation in Commerce and Culture."
