Focusing on England, this study reconstructs the centuries-long
process of commercialization that gave birth to the modern market
society. It shows how certain types of markets (e.g. those for real
estate, labor, capital, and culture) came into being, and how the
social relations mediated by markets were formed. The book deals
with the creation of institutions like the Bank of England, the
Stock Exchange, and Lloyd's of London, as well as the way the
English dealt with the uncertainty and the risks involved in market
transactions. Christiane Eisenberg shows that the creation of a
market society and modern capitalism in England occurred under
circumstances that were utterly different from those on the
European continent. In addition, she demonstrates that as a
process, the commercialization of business, society, and culture in
England did not lead directly to an industrial society, as has
previously been suggested, but rather to a service economy.
