s there a moral economy of capitalism? The term moral economy was
coined in pre-capitalist times and does not refer to economy as we
know it today. It was only in the nineteenth century that economy
came to mean the production and circulation of goods and services.
At the same time, the term started to be used in an explicitly
critical tone: references to moral economy were normally critical
of modern forms of economy, which were purportedly lacking in
morals. In our times, too, the morality of capitalism is often the
topic of debate and controversy. Moral Economies engages in these
debates. Using historical case studies from the eighteenth,
nineteenth, and twentieth centuries the book discusses the degree
to which economic actions and decisions were permeated with moral,
good-vs-bad classifications. Moreover it shows how strongly
antiquitys concept of embedded economy is still powerful in
modernity. The model for this was often the private household, in
which moral, social, and economic behavior patterns were
intertwined. The do-it-yourself movement of the late twentieth and
early twenty-first centuries was still oriented towards this model,
thereby criticizing capitalism on moral grounds.
