Description

For nearly two decades, the free market has dominated public discourse across the West, Eastern Europe and beyond, driving policy changes that reshape societies. Yet scholarly examination of how the market concept functions as cultural idea remains sparse. This Bloomsbury volume addresses that critical gap by analysing portrayals of the market, its embedded values, and the people affected by market-centred policies. Focusing on the United States where market ideology exerts its strongest influence, the book unpacks the cultural meanings attached to free market rhetoric and explores how these ideas shape everyday life, economic behaviour and social structures. Essential reading for anthropologists, sociologists and anyone seeking to understand how market concepts operate beyond economics, influencing culture, politics and public perception.

Key Features

Examines portrayals of the market and its values within the United States, where market models exert their strongest cultural influence.

Part of the Explorations in Anthropology series, offering anthropological perspectives on economic ideas and their social impact.

Addresses how market rhetoric shapes public debate and government policy in Western Europe and Eastern Europe since the 1980s.

Explores the gap between market ideology and its real effects on peoples' lives through cultural and sociological analysis.
