Neither economic liberalism nor Keynesianism can conceptualise vocation, virtue or labour value as economic categories, neither can give a primary economic value to intermediate institutions, whether they be the corporate governance of a firm, vocational colleges, regional banks or supporter owned football clubs, they can only conceptualise the state or the market and all forms of particular association are viewed as at best "cultural” or at worst "obstructive”. They can give no conceptual status to place, to the specificity of place and the necessity of institutions in generating virtue and value within it. View quote
