The Cold War was fought between "state socialism" and "the free
market." That fluctuating relationship between public power and
private money continues today, unfolding in new and unforeseen ways
during the economic crisis. Nine case studies -- from Southern
Africa, South Asia, Brazil, and Atlantic Africa - examine economic
life from the perspective of ordinary people in places that are
normally marginal to global discourse, covering a range of class
positions from the bottom to the top of society. The authors of
these case studies examine people's concrete economic activities
and aspirations. By looking at how people insert themselves into
the actual, unequal economy, they seek to reflect human unity and
diversity more fully than the narrow vision of conventional
economics.
