4 Introduction ctd. Mainstream economics in the form of neoclassical economics is not generic It makes little sense for economists to discuss the process of exchange without specifying the institutional setting within which the trading takes place, since this affects the incentives to produce and the costs of transacting. (Coase, 2005) But: What are institutions and which ones are they?
