Suzanne Case, a self-identified "bibliobanker," believes that literature's power to foster empathy can change the future of the finance industry. Case argues that insensitivity to the human condition was a key factor in the 2008 recession and shows how a daily dose of Herman Melville or Charles Dickens could be the remedy.
