What explains the different labor market outcomes of people who receive the same training from the same place and who have similar grades? Why do national governments issue statements about the country's history and personality when developing economic policies, and why are struggles over the images pictured on money so hard fought?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This engaging book locates the answers to these and other questions in the cultural logics and dynamics that constitute and guide markets. Using clear prose and illustrative examples, Frederick F. Wherry demystifies what culture is, and how it can be identified both in the way that markets are organized and in the way that people operate within them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Culture of Markets\u003c\/i\u003e offers a comprehensive introduction to the puzzles found in studies of markets and to the ways that cultural analyses address those puzzles.
