But markets are not abstract. Even as the idea of the market seduces politicians around the world to take advantage of their abstract qualities, they constantly run up against material reality. Markets are always somewhere, in place, and it is in place that the smooth theories of markets falter and fail. More than simply being embedded in particular places, markets necessarily emerge in the various political, social, cultural, and environmental relations that exist in and between places. Markets shape places, but the reverse is also true.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis collection of essays approaches markets from the ground up, and from a part of the world often still regarded as peripheral to global capitalism: the South Pacific. With a wide variety of case studies, including on indigenous economies, childcare, agriculture, wine, electricity metering, finance, education, and housing, the authors show how complex local, social and cultural politics matter to how markets are made within and between places, and the insights that can be gleaned from studying markets in this part of the world. They explore the way superficially similar markets work out differently in different places, and why, as well as examining how market relations are constructed in places outside and on the edges of the centres of Western capitalism, and what this says back to how markets are understood in those centres. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will be of particular interest to scholars and students working in and between economic geography, cultural economy, political economy, economic sociology, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRussell Prince\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at Massey University in the School of People, Environment and Planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatthew Henry is an Associate Professor in Planning at Massey University in the School of People, Environment and Planning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarolyn Morris is a Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology at Massey University in the School of People, Environment and Planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAisling Gallagher is a Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at Massey University in the School of People, Environment and Planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen FitzHerbert is a cultural economic geographer with the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 09, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52479143444787,"sku":"9781032041957","price":100.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/VktxSU1JNFhrMzdGbDY5Q1hrdWZrQT09.webp?v=1759672755","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/markets-in-their-place-context-culture-finance-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
