"The observation that cultural norms affect economic development has been made repeatedly, yet it has been very hard to use it effectively, whether for policy or for prediction. The essays in this volume present authoritatively the present state of knowledge and point out new aspects which hold out the prospect of greater usefulness."--Kenneth Arrow, Stanford University, and Winner of the 1972 Nobel Prize in Economics "The editors are to be congratulated on having attracted three heavy hitters to their enterprise--Amartya Sen, Mary Douglas, and Arjun Appadurai. And these luminaries have come up with the goods, writing papers any one of which would attract readers. This book will have a diverse readership and it will deserve to do so."--Dr. Keith Hart, University of Aberdeen
