‚Cultural turnaround‘ as an impulse to connect the economic and political history? The chapter evaluates the so called new cultural history of the economic and political history and forms the thesis that this approach could be an important impulse for their closer connection and for formulating new research topics. It concentrates on the crisis of political history, it finds its origins as far as in the approach of the historians in the 19th century. It is mostly devoted to the Czech, German and Anglo-Saxon historiography. The collective monograph was established in the grant project IGA VŠE 28/2012 "New approaches to the methodology of economic and political history."
