Omschrijving
Highlighting the sources, processes and outcomes of moral struggles in and around markets, this volume advances our current understanding of markets and their contested moralities.
To highlight the sources, processes, and outcomes of moral struggles in and around markets, sociologists present empirical studies on struggles around morally contested markets, coping with moral struggles in moral(ized) markets, and moral entrepreneurship and moral struggles in the market field. Among their topics are contested markets: morality, market devices, and vulnerable populations; relational work as a market device: an analysis of the contested "voluntary" carbon offset market; the moralization of labor: establishing the social responsibility of employers for disabled workers; protest rhetoric's appeal: how brands as moral entrepreneurs recruit the media into moral struggles; and contesting the digital economy: struggles over Uber in Poland.
Simone Schiller-Merkens is a Senior Research Associate at the Faculty of Management and Economics at Witten/Herdecke University, Germany. In her research, she draws on organization studies, social movement theory and economic sociology to study the formation and change of market categories and fields at the intersection of economic and non-economic spheres. Her research has appeared in journals such as the Scandinavian Journal of Management, Historical Social Research, and Schmalenbach Business Review.Philip Balsiger is an Assistant Professor of Economic Sociology at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. His work analyzes the moral embeddedness of contemporary markets, including the struggles around the institutional and cultural order of markets, the emergence of moral categories in markets, and ethical consumption. He is the author of The Fight for Ethical Fashion (2016) and has published papers in journals such as European Journal of Sociology, Business & Society, and Journal of Consumer Culture.
