Boulder, CO.: Westview Press, Date: 1991. Scholarly text presents a pioneering study of the application of cultural theory to the study of economic theory and policy. The author demonstrates that the principles of bullionism and anti-bullionism were inextricably linked to specific cultural biases and social structures, and shows that the construction and choice of monetary theories were neither factually based nor logically necessary but instead related to underlying forms of social practice and conceptual justifications of these practices. 210 pp. Illustrated.
