Description

For nearly two decades, the concept of the Free Market has dominated public debate across the West and Eastern Europe. Governments and international agencies frequently implement massive changes to daily life in the name of the Market and its perceived benefits. Despite this influence, there has been a lack of scholarly attention regarding how the idea of the Market is invoked and used. Meanings of the Market: The Free Market in Western Culture helps bridge this gap. As part of the Explorations in Anthropology series, this book provides a necessary analysis of the Market model. By focusing on the United States, where this model is most prevalent, the authors examine how the Market is portrayed, the values it promotes, and the impact it has on people. This work offers a way to understand the cultural meanings behind economic systems and the ways they shape our social reality.
