Chapter One: The Birth of Homo Economicus Part two

What happens when the man who invented a hero built on greed can't stop crying at a Wordsworth poem?
At twenty, John Stuart Mill asked himself a question that broke him for months. By thirty, he was building Homo Economicus — a man driven by one thing only, wealth — and arguing that poetry, music and the circus don't count as economic life at all.
How do you turn a person into a science? Why does watching an acrobat on a galloping horse not count as "doing economics", but making violins does? And what does any of this have to do with a Cambridge scientist, a circus in Rochdale, and a philosopher named Bentham who thought morality could be measured like hay?
Mill knew Homo Economicus wasn't a real man. He just needed him to work.
History of Economic Species tells the story of the evolution of its main character, Homo Economicus. This is the second half of the first chapter.
