This book examines how culture has been neglected in economic theorising and considers how economics could benefit by incorporating ideas from social and cultural theory. William A. Jackson discusses the cultural critique of economics, identifies the main arguments, and assesses their implications. Topics covered include relativism and realism, idealism and materialism, agency and structure, hermeneutics, semiotics, and cultural evolution. The book stresses the importance of culture for economic behaviour and looks at the prospects for a renewed and culturally informed economics
