Cultural Economy presents the work of an international group of academics from a range of disciplines including: * sociology * media * cultural studies * social anthropology * geography all of whom are involved not only in thinking 'culture' into the economy but thinking culture and economy together. Phrases such as: * 'corporate culture' * 'market culture' * 'knowledge economy' have now become familiar clarion calls in the world of work. They are calls that have echoed through organizations and markets. Clearly something is happening to the ways markets and organizations are being represented and intervened in and this signals a need to reassess their very constitution.
