Download or read book Markets written by William A. Jackson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defining markets has never been an easy task. Despite their importance for economic theory and practice, they are hard to pin down as a concept and economists have tended to adopt simplified axiomatic models or rely on piecemeal case studies. This book argues that an extended range of theory, social as well as economic, can provide a better foundation for the portrayal of markets. The book first looks at the definition of markets, their inadequate treatment in orthodox economic theory, and their historical background in the pre-capitalist and capitalist eras. It then assesses various alternatives to orthodox theory, categorised as social/cultural, structural, functional and ethical approaches. Among the alternatives considered are institutionalist accounts, Marxian views, network models, performativity arguments, field theories, Austrian views and ethical notions of fair trade. A key finding of the book is that these diverse approaches, valuable as they are, could present a more effective challenge to orthodoxy if they were less disparate. Possibilities are investigated for a more unified theoretical alternative to orthodoxy. Unlike most studies of markets, this book adopts a fully interdisciplinary viewpoint expressed in accessible, non-technical language. Ideas are brought together from heterodox economics, social theory, critical realism, as well as other social sciences such as sociology, anthropology and geography. Anybody seeking a broad critical survey of the theoretical analysis of markets will find this book useful and it will be of great interest to economists, social scientists, students and policy-makers.

Download or read book Engendering Trade written by Quy-Toan Do and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors analyze the interaction between a country's world market integration and its attitude towards gender roles. They discuss both theoretically and empirically how female empowerment is a source of comparative advantage that shapes a country's response to trade opening. Reciprocally, the authors show that as countries integrate into the world economy, the costs and benefits of gender discrimination shift. Their theory goes beyond a potential aggregate wealth effect associated with trade opening, and emphasizes the heterogeneity of impacts. On the one hand, countries in which women are empowered -- measured by fertility rates, female labor force participation or female schooling -- experience an expansion of industries that use female labor relatively more intensively. On the other hand, the gender gap is smaller in countries that export more in relatively female-labor intensive sectors. In an increasingly globalized economy, the road to gender equality is paradoxically very specific to each country?s productive structure and exposure to world markets.

Download or read book Market Threads written by Koray Çalişkan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a global market? How does it work? At a time when new crises in world markets cannot be satisfactorily resolved through old ideas, Market Threads presents a detailed analysis of the international cotton trade and argues for a novel and groundbreaking understanding of global markets. The book examines the arrangements, institutions, and power relations on which cotton trading and production depend, and provides an alternative approach to the analysis of pricing mechanisms. Drawing upon research from such diverse places as the New York Board of Trade and the Turkish and Egyptian countrysides, the book explores how market agents from peasants to global merchants negotiate, accept, reject, resist, reproduce, understand, and misunderstand a global market. The book demonstrates that policymakers and researchers must focus on the specific practices of market maintenance in order to know how they operate. Markets do not simply emerge as a relationship among self-interested buyers and sellers, governed by appropriate economic institutions. Nor are they just social networks embedded in wider economic social structures. Rather, global markets are maintained through daily interventions, the production of prosthetic prices, and the waging of struggles among those who produce and exchange commodities. The book illustrates the crucial consequences that these ideas have on economic reform projects and market studies. Spanning a variety of disciplines, Market Threads offers an original look at the world commodity trade and revises prevailing explanations for how markets work.
Book Synopsis Engendering Markets by : Peter A. Levin

Book excerpt: Since the mid-1990s, technological advances in futures trading changed how contracts are traded. The traditional organization of trading, known as face-to-face or open outcry trading, has been challenged by screen-based, electronic trading. Promising better, more efficient markets, electronic trading has largely supplanted open outcry trading. While most accounts treat this shift as a technological change, electronic trading has proved to be a more fundamental, institutional change in how markets are constituted and conducted. This dissertation examines this institutional change as it alters the relationships between market participants, as well as the overarching identities, uses of information, arenas of discretion, and organizational structures that make up a futures market. My research methods include six months participant observation as a clerk on the floor of a national open outcry futures exchange, site visits and observations on the floors of four electronic trading firms, and formal interviews with 60 traders, clerks, floor managers, and other trading personnel. I gathered secondary data on changes in the financial futures trading environments. I structure my findings with a framework that consists of four interconnected arenas, highlighting the institutional changes across the trading technologies: identities, information, discretion, and exteriority. The first arena identifies how masculinity is mobilized to solve the problem of creating a trading community and cultivating trust across open outcry and electronic trading, with physical, overtly sexualized masculinity dominated in open outcry, and a more technocratic, intellectualized masculinity predominating in electronic trading. What counts as information, both its form and its usage, is identified in the second arena. The third arena shows how discretion has shifted from trading community in open outcry to the mechanism of the trading medium in electronic trading. And the fourth arena ties these together by showing how electronic markets provide stability by treating the market not as a collectively-realized social process, but as an independent, already-existing entity. This dissertation reveals that sociological analyses of markets move beyond questions of economic efficiency towards a more nuanced, empirical view of how markets are made and how they operate.

Book Synopsis Engendering Economics by : Zohreh Emami
Download or read book Engendering Economics written by Zohreh Emami and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the 1950s the percentage of all economic doctorates awarded to women had dropped to a record low of less than five percent. By presenting interviews with the female economists who received PhD's between 1950 and 1975, this book provides a richer understanding of the sociology of the economics profession. Their post-war experiences as family members, students and professionals, illustrate the challenges that have been faced by women, including both white and African-American women, in a white male dominated profession. Engaging and insightful, the impressive scope of philosophical perspectives, career paths, research interests, feminist inclinations, and observations about the economics profession and women's place within it, will appeal to anyone interested in economics, sociology and gender studies.

Book Synopsis Engendering China by : Christina K. Gilmartin
Download or read book Engendering China written by Christina K. Gilmartin and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1994-04-08 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first significant collection of essays on women in China in more than two decades captures a pivotal moment in a cross-cultural—and interdisciplinary—dialogue. For the first time, the voices of China-based scholars are heard alongside scholars positioned in the United States. The distinguished contributors to this volume are of different generations, hold citizenship in different countries, and were trained in different disciplines, but all embrace the shared project of mapping gender in China and making power-laden relationships visible. The essays take up gender issues from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Chapters focus on learned women in the eighteenth century, the changing status of contemporary village women, sexuality and reproduction, prostitution, women's consciousness, women's writing, the gendering of work, and images of women in contemporary Chinese fiction. Some of the liveliest disagreements over the usefulness of western feminist theory and scholarship on China take place between Chinese working in China and Chinese in temporary or longtime diaspora. Engendering China will appeal to a broad academic spectrum, including scholars of Asian studies, critical theory, feminist studies, cultural studies, and policy studies.
