Julika Baumann Montecinos describes moral culture as one significant factor for the economic performance of a society and thus examines a topic that is systematically neglected by classic economic theory. In a cross-cultural manner the author identifies moral-cultural aspects that foster beneficial transactions taking place between economic players. Thus, she draws conclusions concerning cooperation in global economies.
With the concept of moral culture as a form of capital the author contributes not only to the mapping of culture within economics and hence to a more metaphysical, more complete picture of complex economic realities but also creates new perspectives for transcultural management in global value chains of organisations.
