Lecture by Prof. David Throsby

David Throsby skillfully combines two seemingly separate worlds, showing that it is impossible to imagine economic reflection without taking into account the cultural context and that culture cannot exist independently of the economy. To understand this, you should not only leave the trenches of your own camp, but also learn concepts that allow you to understand the interlocutor.

Member of the editorial board of The International Journal of Cultural Economics. He advised Australian government agencies and international organizations (UNESCO, OECD, FAO, World Bank, UNCTAD).
