Chapter 1 in Institutions, Communication and Values, 2009, pp 1-5 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Relations within the economy are thoroughly standardized, or, as many economists and other social scientists would now have it, institutionalized. Institutions, including the fundamental institutions of language enable economic processes, and may even be seen to constitute them. Commerce and communication are inseparable. Connections within the economy can be thus conceived. Such a conception of reality implies a number of things that this book possibly only begins to investigate.
