Abstract

Global and regional intra- and interfirm production networks, digital innovation and platform economies are, to name a few, cooperation projects of modern economic value creation processes. These can only be processed with the theoretical methods of today’s standard economics in an unsatisfactorily way. The polyvalent phenomena of the economy of a society are moving away from the categories of pure economics. Against this background, the basic categories of relational economics are introduced and defined as a political economy.
