====================== HES POSTING =================== H.A. Innis wrote a paper entitled "The Strategy of Culture". Innis, of course, was an Institutionalist. The Historical Economics of Cliffe Leslie, the distinctive economics of Veblen, and the economics of "American Institutionalists" were all attempts to expose the effects of institutions, habits, and customs on economic behavior. These three embody values. When I put the four together (values, customs, habits, and institutions) I think I have the substance of culture, insofar as it affects economic behavior. Quite a lot has been written on the relationship of economics and culture.
