A cultural, economic approach focuses on how values influence behaviour, how things are valued in different contexts, and how values are valued or changed through time. The pragmatic perspective focuses on how matters work in real-world situations, particularly the discussions that lead to their formation and expression. Values are
important; the difficult part is making them interpretable in economic conditions.
