Summary
Mark Casson demonstrates how the economic effects of culture–social values such as honesty, dedication, and loyalty–can be analysed in a rigorous fashion. He argues that gains from technology in modern society can be offset by high costs stemming from the missing moral dimension which has implications for economic competitiveness and for social and economic institutions. A strong culture reduced transaction costs and enhances performance–the success of an economythus depends on the quality of its culture.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
tightly argued and wide ranging book
I was glad to come across a book which moves away from inconclusive numerical comparisons and sheds some light on why even someone who welcomed the 1980s emphasis on competition and deregulation should still feel uneasy about some of the culturual aspects of the Thatcher revolution, including those that live on under the Major government. Samuel Brittan, Financial Times tightly argued and wide ranging book Business History stimulating book Business Economist
