Opis

Contested commodities range from labour to votes, to human organs, to parks and emissions. But in the context of a market economy, what defines them as contestable commodities? This volume draws together interdisciplinary research on the legitimate scope of markets and the goods that should be exempt therefrom.

Recenzje

"In an era when the commodifying tendencies of capitalism are speeding up and the market extends its reach into multiple areas previously considered outside its domain, this much needed Routledge Handbook of Commodification provides invaluable insight into a hotly contested terrain." 

Anne Phillips, author of Unconditional Equals, Professor Emerita, LSE
