The insightful chapters collected here show that markets are a
matter of concern because they can be spaces for making concerns
matter.' - David Stark, Columbia University, US and author of The
Sense of Dissonance: Accounts of Worth in Economic Life'Do those
impersonal allocation mechanisms that we call markets even exist as
such? Or should we drop this questionable euphemism if what we want
is to address the political struggles and bureaucratic processes
that control economic life? Readers interested in a measured
approach to the subject matter will find a set of clues here. By
considering markets as nodes of concerns, the works assembled in
this volume guide us along a subtle path.' - Fabian Muniesa, Ecole
des Mines de Paris, France Concerned Markets tackles the
intersection between markets and politics, investigating the very
current issue of designing markets to include multiple values. When
political, social, technological and economic interests, values,
and perspectives interact, market order and performance become
contentious issues of debate. Such 'hot' situations are becoming
increasingly common and make for rich sites of research. With
expert empirical contributions investigating the organization of
such 'concerned' markets, this book is positioned at the centre of
the rapidly growing area of interdisciplinary market studies.
Markets investigated include those for palm oil, primary health
care and functional foods. The authors also examine markets and
environmental concerns as well as better market design for those at
the bottom of the pyramid. Scholars, postgraduate and PhD level
students in finance, economic sociology, marketing, organization
theory and economics will find this book essential reading.
Policymakers and practitioners will benefit from the fresh insight
into the design and maintenance of market systems. Contributors
include: L. Araujo, F. Azimont, R. Chakrabarti, F. Cochoy, S.
D'Antone, G. Dix, S. Geiger, D. Harrison, J. Hauber, L. Johansson,
H. Kjellberg, A. Mallard, K. Mason, W.I. Onyas, C. Ruppert-Winkel,
