Abstract
This book is about qualitative economics (QE) which is how science and knowledge matter in understanding the complexity, contradictions, development, and economics in all communities and societies. It is about the understanding of how we can connect organizations and people’s living and the dynamic of economics. Specifically, QE is about building economics into a science that is grounded in the understanding of what is beneath the surface of daily numbers, statistics, data, and behavior. Yes, QE is the deep structure to our understanding of everyday life for the future.
