Thinking social, economic and cultural history together - because all three can only be understood in their interconnectedness!

About Korinna Sch?nh?rl

How did culture and society influence economic activity? And what impact did economics and economic thinking have on the way people lived together in societies? In what discursive framing did people of the past think about economic issues? I am particularly interested in these fascinating questions with regard to the 19th and 20th centuries, in cooperation with colleagues from the fields of economics, religious studies, law and political science.
