The Times Higher 'This is an important book. Using alternative economic spaces as a lens to re-examine the ways in which we think about such issues as the meaning of exchange, value and consumption, this volume provides a major challenge to the dominant conventional readings of these phenomena.'Progress in Human Geography Journal
