ABSTRACT

At the other pole, there are more radical postmodernists who take the shift away from a unilineal view of development that leads either to convergence or stagnation farther still. They argue for the feasibility of a wide range of economic possibilities, a strong example of this being found in Gudeman’s book Economics as Cultures (1986), which argues that almost any kind of economic model can work, as long as the people concerned believe in it.
