This relationship requires theoretical and empirical justification. The present book provides this together with an analysis of the development of cultural background itself. Cultural background is embodied in political institutions, in transactions, knowledge, incentives, in social capital, even in the tangibles of the economy. Thus, economic development is shaped and the rate of growth is affected. Conversely, economic development affects cultural background. When this interaction takes place at a non-developmental cultural background level, which is associated with low growth rates, then a growth trap is formed. Within such a growth trap, economic policy (public and monetary) is relatively deactivated, and the conditions influencing the change in cultural background and its timing are of primary importance. 606 $aEconomic growth 606 $aCultural studies 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic theory 606 $aPolitical economy 606 $aEconomic Growth$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000 606 $aCultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22040 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29000 606 $aInternational Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140 615 0$aEconomic growth. 615 0$aCultural studies. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconomic theory. 615 0$aPolitical economy. 615 14$aEconomic Growth. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy. 676 $a306 676 $a306.3 676 $a330 676 $a330.1 700 $aPetrakis$b Panagiotis E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0946337 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298529503321 996 $aCulture, Growth and Economic Policy$92530651 997 $aUNINA
