DR. REENA PARTI, DR. RAMNIK KOHLI

Abstract

The paper A Study of Culture, Economy and the Interplay of Structures in Society: Raymond Williams Legacy, is an attempt to bring out the interplay between economics and culture. Culture and Economics has been a focal point of intellectual exploration since long. In the paper an effort would be made to establish this relationship through the works of one of the most significant figures in this area, Raymond Williams, a British cultural theorist and sociologist, whose work delves into the intricate connections between culture and economic structures.
Williams's insights into how culture is both influenced by and, in turn, shapes economics would be brought out. The paper seeks to analyse Raymond Williams's contributions to the discourse on economics and culture, while also examining how his ideas resonate within the context of today's social and economic systems.
