Автор:Ben Crow Год: [не указано] Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: [не указано] ISBN: 0333946006 At the beginning of the 21st century an idealized view of markets informs government policy. Real differences in how markets interact with social change are obscured and public action on poverty is constrained. This book uses a detailed study of thegrain trade in Bangladesh to show how socially-constrained patterns of market involvement may systematically benefit the rich while disadvantaging the poor. The book suggests that markets are implicated in the making of society, its division, identities,and directions.
