Abstract:
Marketplaces have long provided a context for observing the negotiation of everyday life amid broader processes of social and economic transformation. Less attention has been paid to the changing moral dimensions of economic life within popular urban marketplaces. Rather than an abstracted market economy, disputes in the market were interpreted in the context of an embedded market society in which value is placed on livelihood facilitation. These findings advance the burgeoning literature on capitalism by demonstrating the ways in which neoliberal norms and values are situated within a broader moral landscape.
