Culture and Enterprise: The Development, Representation and Morality of Business

By Don Lavoie and Emily Chamlee-Wright
The Cato Institue, 2001

Though often mathematically modelled in dry terms, markets can be looked at instead as meaningful domains of human activity. To economists, markets have been seen as nothing but objective 'forces' or allocation 'mechanisms'. This book, however, argues that they can be seen as involving the human spirit, personal expression and moral commitments. It presents the view that markets are not so much things that need to be measured as meanings that need to be narrated and interpreted.
