When the women who sell in Ho Chi Minh City's marketplace speak, their language suggests that activity in the market is shaped by timeless, essential truths. Essential Trade looks through the façade of these "timeless truths” and finds active participants in a political economy of appearances: traders' words and actions conform to stereotypes of themselves as poor, weak women in order to clinch sales, manage creditors, and protect themselves from accusations of being greedy, corrupt, or "bourgeois”.
