Making a Market: The Institutional Transformation of an African Society - Political Economy of Institutions and Decisions
Ensminger, Jean (Washington University, St Louis)
In Making a Market, Jean Ensminger analyses the process by which the market was introduced into the economy of a group of Kenyan pastoralists. This 1993 case study points out the importance of understanding the roles of ideology and bargaining power - in addition to pure economic forces, such as changing relative prices - in shaping market institutions.
