Culture and Economic Action

Edited by Laura E. Grube and Virgil Storr (vstorr@gmu.edu)

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This edited volume, a collection of both theoretical essays and empirical studies, presents an Austrian economics perspective on the role of culture in economic action. The authors illustrate that culture cannot be separated from economic action, but that it is in fact part of all decision-making.
