This volume seeks to fill one of these conspicuous gaps in the critical literature by focusing on various connections between science fiction and economics, with some attention to related fields such as politics and government. Its seventeen contributors include five award-winning scholars, five science fiction writers, and a widely published economist. Three topics are covered: what noted science fiction writers like Robert A. Heinlein, Frank Herbert, and Kim Stanley Robinson have had to say about our economic and political future; how the competitive and ever-changing publishing marketplace has affected the growth and development of science fiction from the nineteenth century to today; and how the scholars who examine science fiction have themselves been influenced by the economics of academia. Although the essays focus primarily on American science fiction, the traditions of Russian and Chinese science fiction are also examined. A comprehensive bibliography of works related to science fiction and economics will assist other readers and critics who are interested in this subject."-Provided by publisher"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Science fiction, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Economics in literature. 650 0 $a Economics and literature. 650 0 $a Publishers and publishing $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Books and reading $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Book and reading $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Books and reading. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836454 650 7 $a Economics and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902245 650 7 $a Economics in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902247 650 7 $a Publishers and publishing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083463 650 7 $a Science fiction, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108635 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Westfahl, Gary, $e editor. 700 1 $a Benford, Gregory, $d 1941- $e editor. 700 1 $a Hendrix, Howard V., $d 1959- $e editor. 700 1 $a Alexander, Jonathan, $d 1967- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706014450.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2FC8EFE85D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
