Markets

Perspectives from Economic and Social Theory

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Defining markets has never been an easy task. Despite their importance in economics, they are hard to pin down as a concept and economists have tended to adopt simplified models or rely on piecemeal case studies. This book argues that an extended range of social and economic theory can provide a better foundation for the portrayal of markets.
