The Contested Moralities of Markets
Emerald Publishing Limited (Verlag)
978-1-78769-120-9 (ISBN)
Moral struggles in and around markets abound in contemporary societies where markets
have become the dominant form of economic coordination. The present volume
advances our current understanding of markets by highlighting the sources,
processes and outcomes of moral struggles in and around markets. It traces the
creation, reproduction and change of underlying moral orders and reveals the
role of status and power differentials, alliances and political strategies as
well as the general cultural, social and political contexts in which the
struggles unfold. The contributions to this volume reflect the ‘moral turn’ that
can currently be observed in organization studies and economic sociology, and
connect to recent developments in the sociology of morality.
