Markets in Historical Contexts is the result of a dialogue between
historians and social scientists thinking about markets in modern
society. How should we approach markets after the collapse of
Marxism? What alternative ways of thinking about markets can we
recover from the past? The essays in this volume set out to
challenge essentialist accounts of the market. Instead they suggest
that markets are always embedded in distinctive traditions and
practices that shape the ways in which they are conceived and the
manner of their working. The essays range widely over European and
non-European societies from the eighteenth century to the present,
from the great transformation to globalization. Rational peasants,
republican economists, popular conservatives, guild theorists,
early environmentalists, communitarians, progressives, consumers,
Gandhi's descendants and others are all revived. The volume thus
recovers alternative ways of thinking about markets, many of which
are neglected or marginalized in contemporary debates.
