As the transition from socialism to a market economy gathered speed
in the early 1990s, many people proclaimed the final success of
capitalism as a practice and neoliberal economics as its
accompanying science. But with the uneven achievements of the
"transition"-the deepening problems of "development," persistent
unemployment, the widening of the wealth gap, and expressions of
resistance-the discipline of economics is no longer seen as a
mirror of reality or as a unified science. How should we understand
economics and, more broadly, the organization and disorganization
of material life? In this book, international scholars from
anthropology and economics adopt a rhetorical perspective in order
to make sense of material life and the theories about it.
Re-examining central problems in the two fields and using
ethnographic and historical examples, they explore the
intersections between these disciplines, contrast their methods and
epistemologies, and show how a rhetorical approach offers a new
mode of analysis while drawing on established contributions.
