Anthropological Economics

Anthropologic economy is a new way of considering the economic processes from a human capital perspective.
What is the historical background for the existing economical context?
Why an economy (for a company or of a country) has to pay attention to its human capital?
Why an economy is, first of all, a human activity?
How a political system can foster the economy of a country?
Most of political economic theories address only ethical aspects without proposing practical solutions. Or else the solutions they propose are too extreme or unworkable.
Beyond some common methodological mistakes, most of the time, they forget the importance of the human factor.
Workers and managers are the key of any progress. They are not only rational beings to be counted as heads but also the source of creativity, competence and willingness. Having an economic process focused on human capital means to know and respect the unicity of the persons involved.
Any sustainable economy requires that companies, governments and educational institutions look for identification, definition, planning and valorisation of the competences of their human resources.
This book, thanks to a panel of experts of political economy, political history, labour union history, economy strategy and policies and social actors, aims to explain why putting the person at the centre of economic systems is truly innovative.
