Abstract
The article considers a culture as an important factor of economic growth. A culture is understood as the environment for social and economic performance. It’s presenting three theories which perceive a culture as an influential component for economic life. The starting point is the Francis Fukuyama’s point of view about the meaning of social trust. Then in that context it’s zooming on Mariano Grondona and Jacenty Siewierski theories.
