%X In Herbert’s essays and poems we find not only a wide range of economic problems, but also a real passion with which the author describes the economic basics of all civilisations. In the apocrypha The Portrait in Black Frames and poem Hakeldama Herbert builds a great metaphor of The Last Judgement as the Great Books of accounts. Nothing unusual. The poet and essayist held a master’s degree in economics (he graduated from the School of Economics in Krakow – currently the University of Economics).
