Student: Tolmacheva Elena

Supervisor: Maria Y. Krechetova

Faculty: Faculty of Humanities

Educational Programme: Cultural Studies (Bachelor)

Final Grade: 8

Year of Graduation: 2018

In this study, on the example of the Russian situation, we examined whether there a new consensus emerged and what role economists assign to the factor of culture. Analyzing the work of well-known economists, we came to the conclusion that the efficiency of the work of political and economic institutions largely depends on the culture or informal institutions of society.
