Symbolic resources affect social, cultural, and economic
development. The value of being "Made in America" or "Made in
Italy," for example, depends not only on the material advantages
each place offers but also on the symbolic resources embedded in
those places of production. Drawing on case studies that range from
the vineyards of South Africa and the textiles of Thailand to the
Mundo Maya in Latin America and tourist destinations in Tuscany,
this volume examines the various forms that cultural wealth takes,
the processes involved in its construction, and the ways it is
deployed.
Leading scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds examine
how symbolic resources and cultural understandings help firms and
regions develop. Through a thoughtful analysis of current- day
cases, as well as historical developments, "The Cultural Wealth of
Nations" offers an exciting new alternative to standard economic
explanations about the wealth and poverty of nations.
