Nationalism and the Economy: Exploring a Neglected Relationship offers a fresh perspective on the connection between economic activity and national identity. Published by Central European University Press, this work serves as the first attempt to bridge the gap between two distinct areas of study: economic nationalism as a deliberate ideology of nation-building, and the more subtle expressions of economic nationness. The text examines how economic symbols, memories, and product communication shape our understanding of the nation. By looking at both intentional movements and the everyday presence of national identity in the marketplace, the book provides a comprehensive view of how these forces interact. It addresses the need to place economic phenomena at the center of nationalism studies, making it a significant resource for those interested in how economic life influences social and political structures. This volume is designed for readers seeking to understand the deeper links between market behaviors and national sentiment. It moves beyond simple definitions to explore how economic issues contribute to the broader study of nations and nationalism, providing a foundation for future research in the field.
