Laws of Markets

by Michel Callon

Expert contributors explore how concrete markets are built up and stabilized. They show how entities--material or non-material, human or non-human--are transformed into commodities, how economic behaviors are shaped by institutional arrangements, and whether it is possible to measure the role of the social sciences, particularly economics, in performing markets and in enforcing rational behavior.
