Mobile Money: Communication, Consumption and Change in the Payments Space (2012, background): “Having written on local currencies and non-standard financial arrangements, I was in a position to situate industrial conversations about the future of money in light of such alternatives (see Maurer, 2005).”
Local currencies for purposive degrowth? A quality check of some proposals for changing money-as-usual (2013, background): “The currency name was chosen to express the principle of egalitarian labour exchange, inspired by the labour notes of the utopian socialist Owen (Glover, 2000), and was also a localist exercise in homophony (Maurer, 2005: 48).”
Economization, part 1: shifting attention from the economy towards processes of economization (2009, background): “Things which are chosen (or designed) to act as money (Maurer, 2005, 2006) become greatly accessible.”

The Anthropology of Credit and Debt (2010, background): “Meanwhile, envisioning credit/debt as a socially binding force even when interest is absent (or at 0%, as in Japan between 2001–2006) makes both Islamic finance and the local currency movements fascinating case studies for much of the anthropological theory discussed here (Hart 2001, Maurer 2005).”
The remit of financial geography—before and after the crisis (2009, background): “…a strong tradition of ethnographic work in literatures in Anthropology, Sociology, Social Studies of Finance and Actor Network Theory (for example, Maurer 2005, MacKenzie 2006, Goldman 2005), one potentially fruitful avenue of exploration would produce complementary ethnographies interrogating…”
