Description
Since the collapse of the Berlin Wall, there has been a widespread affirmation of economic ideologies that conceive the market as an autonomous sphere of human practice. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, this idea has been countered by calls for reforms of financial markets and for the consideration of moral values in economic practice.

Daromir Rudnyckyj, one of the volumes editors, is Associate Professor of anthropology at the University of Victoria.
