Bringing Culture Back In: Overcoming the Economic-Cultural Split in Development Studies.

Agnew, John A.

Journal of Geography, v86 n6 p276-81 Nov-Dec 1987

States that economic geography, by itself, does not completely explain the geography of world economic development. Argues that development must also be viewed in terms of the cultural peculiarities which influence it. Cites as examples the early United States economy, consisting of a capitalist North and an agricultural South, and the Apartheid system of South Africa. (GEA)
