review: Editorial Reviews Review ‘This book provides a useful collection of 42 papers, mostly empirical, that highlight different channels through which culture affects economic growth. This collection, which includes studies from the disciplines of sociology and economics, focuses on recent work from the last two decades, but includes also important papers in the topic from the last century. . . . those who read the book will find it very useful for understanding the economic mechanisms that are translated from culture to economic prosperity nowadays.’ -- Assaf Sarid, Journal of Regional Science About the Author Edited by Enrico Spolaore, Professor of Economics, Tufts University, US
