Chapter Chapter 12 in Relational Economics, 2020, pp 155-168 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This concluding chapter serves as a summary and reflection of the fundamentals of the research program of relational economics theory. In epistemological terms, it is based on Alfred N. Whitehead’s process philosophy and the discussion focuses primarily on the consequences of this orientation for the development of economic theory. Relational economics claims to be the political economy of a relational society. However, this claim cannot be fulfilled without the development of a corresponding monetary theory and a corresponding theory of state action. This is equally and urgently true for a formalisation of this theory, which must go hand in hand with empirical studies as well as case studies.
