This text investigates the complex, multifaceted intersections between political, cultural, and economic systems to determine how they mutually constitute one another in a globalized context. Editors Jacqueline Best and Matthew Paterson curate a collection of essays that challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries, utilizing diverse theoretical frameworks to analyze how economic practices are culturally embedded and how cultural narratives shape political economic outcomes. The contributors draw upon historical analysis, discourse theory, and critical social science to argue that the economy cannot be understood in isolation from the cultural meanings that sustain it.
