Moral struggles in and around markets abound in contemporary societies where markets
have become the dominant form of economic coordination. The present volume
advances our current understanding of markets by highlighting the sources,
processes and outcomes of moral struggles in and around markets. It traces the
creation, reproduction and change of underlying moral orders and reveals the
role of status and power differentials, alliances and political strategies as
well as the general cultural, social and political contexts in which the
struggles unfold. The contributions to this volume reflect the ‘moral turn’ that
can currently be observed in organization studies and economic sociology, and
connect to recent developments in the sociology of morality.
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.
