Shedding light on a range of price fixing mechanisms and price
display technologies, this incisive book offers a clear overview of
the retail price setting, posting and adjusting processes. Based on
a detailed study of a century of pricing practices in the US retail
sector, it explores the anthropology and sociology of valuation
practices by concentrating on the way prices are fabricated. Fixing
Prices examines the relationship between everyday price display
innovations, such as price tag devices, and wider market changes,
including the introduction of price regulations about price display
and item pricing. Investigating the historical development of price
display, the book demonstrates the extent to which the materiality
of prices contributes to the creation of different price-based
valuation tactics. Offering a historical perspective on pricing in
the US retail sector, this unique book will prove invaluable to
students of marketing, economic sociology, and industrial
economics. It will also benefit industry professionals wanting to
expand their knowledge surrounding pricing procedures.
