Markets in Historical Contexts: Ideas and Politics in the Modern World Book

This volume presents a much-needed corrective to the picture of an essentialist market. Leading academics offer historically-informed, interdisciplinary inquiries into the embeddedness of markets in social, cultural and political relations. They examine critical thinkers, social movements and organisations and the ways in which these have understood, managed and tried to reform market relations from the eighteenth century to the present. This volume aims to retrieve those critical traditions and reform movements which sought to negotiate a path between the free market and the Marxist utopia of a society without markets.Read More

  • Product Description

    Presenting a much-needed corrective to the model of the "free market", authoritative contributors make historically-informed, interdisciplinary inquiries into the nature of market involvement in social, cultural and political relations. They examine critical thinkers, social movements and organizations and the ways in which they have influenced market relations from the eighteenth century to the present. The volume recreates those critical traditions and reform movements which sought to negotiate a path between the free market and the Marxist utopia of a society without markets.
