ISBN: 9780333733929 / Angielski / Twarda / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book develops a completely articulated theory of economic interconnections to deal...

Markets, Class and Social Change: Trading Networks and Poverty in Rural South Asia
ISBN: 9780333946008 / Angielski / Twarda / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

More generally, the book suggests that markets are implicated in the making of society, its divisions, identities and directions.
