Institutional economics focuses on understanding the role of the evolutionary process and the role of institutions in shaping economic behaviour. Its original focus lay in Thorstein Veblen's instinct-oriented dichotomy between technology on the one side and the "ceremonial" sphere of society on the other. Its name and core elements trace back to a 1919 American Economic Review article by Walton H. Hamilton. Institutional economics emphasizes a broader study of institutions and views markets as a result of the complex interaction of these various institutions (e.g. individuals, firms, states, social norms). The earlier tradition continues today as a leading heterodox approach to economics. The book covers the basic concepts of institutional economics, its impact and changing scenario in developing economies. The book is broad, relevant and useful to academic, administrative and research oriented mass. The scope lies in mutual understanding the basic dogmas of institutional systems and its interlinked with allied economic management activities dealing with, Management in Agricultural Production, Finance and Marketing of Agriculture and Agricultural allied activities.
