Cultural geographies of economies
Pages 67 - 80

For some time now economic geographers have wrestled with a domi-nant economic orthodoxy which advances an ahistoric, formalist and homogenous view of the economic. Obviously, this neoliberal world-transformation is highly entangled in the social and criticism of under-socialised economics are undersocialised themselves. Rather then con-tinuously pointing to the unrealistic nature of autistic economics, the task should be to analyse how abstract economic thinking produces realities. This paper discusses four conceptual building stones for such a project and advances possible ways to put them to empirical use: virtualism; framing/disentangling, the economy as boundary practice, border plura-lisation and the composition of alternative economic orders.
