Economics, Culture and Development - Eiman O. (Franklin and Marshall College Zein-Elabdin - Bog

This book examines the treatment of culture and development in the discipline of economics, thereby filling a conspicuous gap in current literature. Economics has come a long way to join the `cultural turn¿ that has swept the humanities and social sciences in the last half century. This volume identifies some of the issues that major philosophies of economics must address to better grasp the cultural complexity of contemporary economies.
