The Social Behaviors in Conducive Production and Exchange

University of Massachusetts-Lowell

Conducive production (the concept developed in the first article of this issue) is a process of creative coordination in production, which also contributes to the development of the social fabric. To understand how, this article looks inside the conducive production process and examines how producer and consumer activities link together in collaborative dialogues. The conventional views of economic man are contrasted with this new view of productive human beings in the jazz economy. Jazz is used as a metaphor for the interactive processes of creation and coordination in the conducive economy.

Key Words: conducive production • exchange theory • skill development • economic man • jazz improvization
