		Thus while the concept of an economy is not fixed but arbitrary, and may have strayed rather far from the management of household resources, it is nonetheless spoken of in official circles as if there were genuine agreement (sometimes almost as if it were tangible, as we must get the economy back on track).

		The new traditional economy is one in which economic decision making is once again embedded to some extent within a broader socio-cultural framework, but which uses, or seeks to use, modern technology, to be an advanced modern economy.
		The usual basis for such an embedding is a traditional religion and the appearance of a new traditional economy is usually associated with the imposition upon a modern or modernizing economy and society of a traditional religion by a religiously based political movement.
		To the extent that the "religious economists" are correct, then the new traditional economy must be viewed as a new perspective, or at least as a new model of an economic system, a new form in which economic behavior is embedded Polanyi-like within a broader socio-cultural framework in a way unseen in the world before.

	MaxSpeak, You Listen!: IRAN: THE FIRST ISLAMIC NEW TRADITIONAL ECONOMY
		The idea is that there is a global movement to "re-embed" modern, technologically advanced economies (such as ones pursuing nuclear power for peaceful or other purposes) back into a traditonal socio-political framework, following the categories of Karl Polanyi as discussed in his _The Great Transformation_.
		In our book we had a chapter covering what we considered to be the first nation to attempt to implement a new traditional economy: Iran, with updated coverage in our second edition (2004, MIT Press), which has been struggling to adopt an Islamic econmic system since the Islamic revolution of 1979.
		Today, the Iranian economy is dominated by oil, which has allowed it to accumulate a $40 billion reserve, which could allow it to put in place an embargo on oil production to achieve independence of its nuclear program, which is very popular in Iran, including with the liberal opponents of the new president.

	The Town Paper: Local Economy and Traditional Neighborhoods
		Much can be said for the idea of community leaders giving serious thought to growing their own local economy.
		As I see it, one is either on the side of a) growing a local economy, being a community builder, nurturing local businesses and aspects of connectedness in our blocks, neighborhoods, municipalities and regions, or b) part of the victim/exploiter dichotomy, vulnerable to or profiting from the get rich quick strategies developers are reviled for.
		Even new urbanism, with developers used to the profit margins brought by the economies of scale of suburbia and municipalities used to the ease of administering "production developments," can be vulnerable to many aspects of the assembly line perspective.

	THE LESSONS OF CHINA'S TRANSITION TO A MARKET ECONOMY
		The economy is very inefficient because of (1) low allocative efficiency, due to the deviation of the industrial structure from the pattern dictated by the comparative advantages of the economy, and (2) low technical efficiency, resulting from managers' and workers' low incentives to work.
		The suppressed sectors in the traditional economy are the sectors that are consistent with the comparative advantages of the economy.
		Therefore, once the integrity of the traditional economic system was cracked by the introduction of microautonomy, institutional changes occurred in a way that was self-propelling toward the replacement of the traditional system with a more efficient market system.

	Productivity Growth And The New Economy
		The acceleration in traditional economic productivity was 0.64 percent for overall GDP, 0.91 percent for business output, and 1.16 percent for well-measured output.
		Similarly, evidence suggesting the service and construction sectors performed poorly in the same period may well result from their questionable price indexes, which is why he excluded them from his well-measured output index.
		In any case, Nordhaus concludes that while new economy industries have demonstrated acceleration of productivity growth in recent years, there has also been a substantial concurrent upturn in such growth in much of the traditional economy.
