Embodying exchange : materiality, morality and global commodity chains in Andean commerce

Juliane Müller

"Addressing the infrastructural, legal and moral complexities in contemporary world trade, this book uses an ethnographic analysis of the interface of multinational brand manufacturers and popular traders in the Bolivian Andes. It offers a situated account of traders' understanding of regulatory principles, and traces commercial dynamics beyond the limits of what we use to define as economic. It aims to humanize our understanding of the economy by grounding it in everyday life and morality."
