'The Handbook of Diverse Economies offers a rich, beautiful,
organic garden of ideas to nourish the project of ''doing economy''
differently. These sprouts and vines will, eventually, alter the
institutional structures we inhabit.' - Nancy Folbre, University of
Massachusetts Amherst, US 'Let us forget, just for a moment,
''capitalism'' and instead investigate the diversity of new forms
of economic activities that are flourishing everywhere: this is the
essential, energizing, message of J. K. Gibson-Graham, Kelly
Dombroski and her colleagues. This innovative book must be
absolutely put into all hands. It takes us on a long and rewarding
journey around the world to explore ongoing experiences that all
attempt to invent new ways of living together.' - Michel Callon,
Centre de Socologie de l'Innnovation, Mines ParisTech, France
Theorising and illustrating diverse, more-than-capitalist
economies, this broad-ranging Handbook presents ways in which it is
possible to imagine and enact other ways of being. It gathers
together empirical examples of diverse economic practices and
experiments from across the world, framed by in-depth discussions
of key theoretical concepts. Organised into thematic sections, the
Handbook moves from looking at diverse forms of enterprise, to
labour, transactions, property, and finance as well as decentred
subjectivity and diverse economies methodology. Chapters present a
wide diversity of economic practices that make up contemporary
economies, many of which are ignored or devalued by mainstream
economic theory. Pushing the boundaries of economic thinking to
include more than human labour and human/non-human interdependence,
it highlights the challenges of enacting ethical economies in the
face of dominant ways of thinking and being. Economic geography,
political economy and development studies scholars will greatly
appreciate the empirical examples of diverse economic practices
blended with theory throughout the Handbook. It will also benefit
policy-makers and practitioners working within diverse economies,
or looking to create more ethical ways of living.
