Research and publication focus
The main areas of research are the cultural history of perception, thinking and thinking about the economy, images of economy, economy and culture, economics as cultural studies and communicative aspects of society and politics.
In Mythos Markt he tries to combine the theory of propaganda by Hayek and Lippmann with the neoclassical general equilibrium theory and to describe the broad areas of the prevailing economy as a neoliberal propaganda project.
