The Regulation Approach
Robert Boyer describes the wide encompassing theory as “The study of the transformation of social relations, which creates new forms- both economic and non-economic- organized in structures and reproducing a determinate structure, the mode of reproduction”. This theory or approach looks at the capitalist economies as a function of social and institutional systems and not just as government's role in the regulation of the economy, although that is a big part of the approach.

“Fishermen, hunters, woodchoppers, and others, spending their lives in the fields and woods, in a peculiar sense a part of Nature themselves, are often in a more favorable mood for observing her, in the intervals of their pursuits, than philosophers or poets even, who approach her with expectation. She is not afraid to exhibit herself to them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
