The present volumeadvances our current understanding of markets by highlighting the sources,processes and outcomes of moral struggles in and around markets. It traces thecreation, reproduction and change of underlying moral orders and reveals therole of status and power differentials, alliances and political strategies aswell as the general cultural, social and political contexts in which thestruggles unfold.
