{"product_id":"oikos-and-market-stephen-gudeman-9781785338366","title":"Oikos and Market: Explorations in Self-Sufficiency After Socialism","description":"\u003cp\u003e Self-sufficiency of the house is practiced in many parts of the world but ignored in economic theory, just as socialist collectivization is assumed to have brought household self-sufficiency to an end. The ideals of self-sufficiency, however, continue to shape economic activity in a wide range of postsocialist settings. This volume's six comparative studies of postsocialist villages in Eastern Europe and Asia illuminate the enduring importance of the house economy, which is based not on the market but on the order of the house. These formations show that economies depend not only on the macro institutions of markets and states but also on the micro institutions of families, communities, and house economies, often in an uneasy relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Gudeman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785338366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785338366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Stephen Gudeman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906933182719,"sku":"9781785338366","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34a4235f-9e3e-4073-890c-dcc02364da0a.jpg?v=1748771812","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oikos-and-market-stephen-gudeman-9781785338366","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
