Publisher's overview:

This book offers a semiotic approach to political economy. It aims to understand the meaning of discourses and representations regarding the economy, and to interpret the economic policies implemented by authorities in the development of a political mediation of the economy.

This work offers a semiotic approach to political economy. It seeks to understand the meanings of discourses and representations concerning the economy, and to interpret the economic policies established by those in power through the elaboration of a "political mediation of the economy".

This volume contributes to the broader field of political economy and semiotic analysis by examining how economic realities are articulated through public discourse and symbolic representation. Within the traditions of semiotics and cultural studies, the interpretation of economic policies has long involved looking beyond quantitative data to understand the underlying communicative structures. Readers interested in the intersection of semiotics, political discourse, and economic policy may find this volume relevant to these ongoing discussions.

The study addresses the ways in which authorities construct and mediate economic policies through institutional communication and public language. By focusing on the semiotic dimensions of political economy, the work engages with questions of how meaning and value are produced within societal structures. The page notes that the volume focuses on the interpretation of these representations and the development of political mediation in economic contexts.
