Constructing Quality
ISBN: 9780199677573 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How can we engage in a market relationship when the quality of the goods we want to acquire is unknown, invisible, or uncertain? For market exchange to be possible, purchasers and suppliers of goods must be able to assess the quality of a product in relation to other products. Only by recognizing qualities and perceiving quality differences can purchasers make non-random choices, and price differences between goods be justified.
"Quality" is not a natural given, but the outcome of a social process in which products become seen as possessing certain traits, and occupying a specific...

The Architecture of Illegal Markets: Towards an Economic Sociology of Illegality in the Economy
ISBN: 9780198794974 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From illegal drugs, stolen artwork, and forged trademarks, to fraud in financial markets - the phenomenon of illegality in market exchanges is pervasive. Illegal markets have great economic significance, have relevant social and political consequences, and shape economic and political structures.
Despite the importance of illegality in the economy, the field of economic sociology unquestioningly accepts the premise that the institutional structures and exchanges taking place in markets are law-abiding in nature. This volume makes a contribution to changing this. Questions that stand at...

The Worth of Goods: Valuation and Pricing in the Economy
ISBN: 9780199594641 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How do we place value on goods - and, importantly, why? Valuation and pricing are core issues in the market economy, but understanding of these concepts and their interrelation is weak. In response, The Worth of Goods takes a sociological approach to the perennial but timely question of what makes a product valuable.
Structured in three parts, it first examines value in the broader sense - moral values and how they are formed, and the relations between economic and non-economic values - discussing such matters as the value of an oil spill, the price of a scientific paper, value in ethical...

Imagined Futures: Fictional Expectations and Capitalist Dynamics
ISBN: 9780674088825 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. In a capitalist system, consumers, investors, and corporations orient their activities toward a future that contains opportunities and risks. How actors assess uncertainty is a problem that economists have tried to solve through general equilibrium and rational expectations theory. Powerful as these analytical tools are, they underestimate the future's unknowability by assuming that markets, in the aggregate, correctly forecast what is to come. Jens Beckert adds a new chapter to the theory of capitalism by demonstrating how fictional expectations drive modern economies--or throw them...

How to regulate the transfer of wealth from one generation to the next has been hotly debated among politicians, legal scholars, sociologists, economists, and philosophers for centuries.

Uncertain Futures: Imaginaries, Narratives, and Calculation in the Economy
ISBN: 9780198846802 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Uncertain Futures considers how economic actors visualize the future and decide how to act in conditions of radical uncertainty. It starts from the premise that dynamic capitalist economies are characterized by relentless innovation and novelty and hence exhibit an indeterminacy that cannot be reduced to measurable risk. The organizing question then becomes how economic actors form expectations and make decisions despite the uncertainty they face. This edited volume lays the foundations for a new model of economic reasoning by showing how, in conditions of uncertainty, economic actors...
