Modern Literature: The term "Modern Literature" encompasses literary works from the late 19th and 20th centuries. Characterized by a departure from traditional writing styles, this era is marked by experimentation with narrative techniques, diverse forms, and a focus on inner self-consciousness (Saunders, 2010).

Market Dynamics: Market dynamics refer to the forces influencing prices and the behaviors of producers and consumers. These forces, including demand and supply, economic conditions, technological changes, and government policies, collectively shape market trends and patterns (Campbell & Cochrane, 1999; Dosi & Nelson, 2010).

Lesson 02: Classic Literature and Economic Theories

Introduction: "Classic Literature and Economic Theories" delves into the intersection of literary narratives and fundamental economic principles. This lesson explores the profound influence of economic ideologies on societal norms and personal values depicted in classic literature. By examining economic theories, we aim to deepen the understanding of both disciplines and highlight literature's power as a lens for viewing economic principles.

Classic Literature: Classic literature refers to works acclaimed for artistic merit, universal themes, and profound insights into the human condition (Bennett & Royle, 2023). These timeless works significantly influence culture and subsequent literature, from ancient epics like Homer's "The Odyssey" to more modern classics like F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby."

Economic Theories (Major Trends): Economic theories provide frameworks for analyzing resource distribution and utilization. Major trends include classical economics, emphasizing free markets and government roles; Keynesian economics, focusing on demand-side solutions; and modern trends like behavioral economics, integrating psychological insights into decision-making (Dopfer & Potts, 2007; Mankiw, 2020).
