Culture, Sociality, and Morality: New Applications of Mainline Political Economy

Purchase the book at Bloomsbury, Amazon, or Bookshop.org.

Published by Bloomsbury Publishing in Economy, Polity, and Society

The chapters in this volume explore, engage and expand on the key thinkers and ideas of the Austrian, Virginia, and Bloomington schools of political economy. The book emphasizes the continuing relevance of the contributions of these schools of thought to our understanding of cultural, social, moral, and historical processes for interdisciplinary research in the social sciences and humanities. An analysis of human action that deliberately divorces it from cultural, social, moral, and historical processes will (at least) limit and (at worst) distort our understanding of human phenomena. The diversity in topics and approaches will make the volume of interest to readers in a variety of fields, including anthropology, communications, East Asian languages & literature, economics, law, musicology, philosophy, and political science.
