Celebrate the launch of Professor Jacqueline Best and Professor Matthew Paterson‘s new co-edited volume, Cultural Political Economy (Routledge, 2010).

About the book: “The global political economy is inescapably cultural. Whether we talk about the economic dimensions of the ‘war on terror,’ the sub-prime crisis and its aftermath, or the ways in which new information technology has altered practices of production and consumption, it has become increasingly clear that these processes cannot be fully captured by the hyper-rational analysis of economists or the slogans of class conflict.
