This article explores the implications of making the cultural turn in the engagement of economic and political geography with issues of political economy. It seeks to steer a path between a fetishistic, reified economics that naturalizes economic categories and a soft economic sociology that focuses on the similarities between economic and other socio-cultural activities at the expense of the specificity of the economic.

The consistency over countries and the causal direction of RR's so called 'stylised fact' is considered. Using multilevel models, we find that ...
