Culture and the wealth of nations 1

I was opportune to listen to one of my mentor who really appreciates the importance of culture and the role it plays in the market: Now
Who are the inhabitants of the markets place? Are they the spiritless calculating robots depicited in so much economy theory? Or are they the heartless money-grubbing corporate executives depicted in telivisions and film who assumes that theft,muder,and enviromental degradation are all part of good business.
What we we would like to offer is an alternative view, one in which markets are seen as an integral part of human culture.as part of our culture, the market is an arena in which humanbeings can create meaning in their lives and express their spirit.
In order to understand the market as an animated sphere of human engagement,we must take seriously the role culture plays in the economy. We aim to do this by exploring the concept of "culture" in it's fullest sense as the frame work of shared meaning of a people. This concept of culture thus include traditional beliefs and customary pratices,the so-called high arts such as literature,painting, dance and operas..
We take all those elements of culture seriously because all plays an important and pivotal role in how market develop, how they are perceived, and how people choose to express themselves in the market process. Fellow steemians let the culture we share steemit us to greater success
