Book Description:

This book presents a much-needed corrective to the model of the 'free market' which has come to dominate public and academic life. Leading historians, theorists and social scientists offer historically informed, interdisciplinary inquiries into the embeddedness of markets in social, cultural and political relations from the eighteenth century to the present.
