Private Governance: Creating Order in Economic and Social Life (2015, critical): “Morality is assumed by Stringham to stem from (free) markets, without acknowledgement that this is a limited conception of the moral norms governing social life (see, e.g., Etzioni, 1988; Fourcade & Healy, 2007).”
The Geometry of Culture: Analyzing the Meanings of Class through Word Embeddings (2018, background): “For example, a growing literature on valuation and moralized markets outlines how socioeconomic attributions are shaped by moral classifications (Fourcade and Healy 2007; Zelizer 1979).”
Geographies of circulation and exchange: constructions of markets (2009, background): “…approaches (feeble because in this view economic exchange is so fragile that it is only possible with the help of social structures and institutions), rather the “enemy” is the mythical and powerful “civilizing market” described by orthodox economists (Fourcade and Healy, 2007; Hirschman, 1982).”
Moral economy: What’s in a name (2018, background): “An example of a vision of such a world with which many concerned with moral economy might disagree is that laid out by the advocates of free-market capitalism, who argue that it is moral, in two ways (see generally Fourcade and Healy, 2007: 286–291).”
Do libertarians dream of electric coins? The material embeddedness of Bitcoin (2014, background): “Fourcade and Healy argue that ‘[markets] play a powerful moralizing role in practice by defining categories of worth’ (Fourcade and Healy 2007, 301).”
Seeing like a market (2016, background): “As digital traces of individual behaviors are aggregated, stored, and analyzed, markets see people through a lens of deserving and undeservingness, and classification situations become moral projects (Fourcade and Healy, 2007).”
Relational Work in the Economy (2020, background): “…Zelizer 2005, Velthuis 2005, Beckert 2008, Wherry 2008, Bandelj & Wherry 2011, Mears 2011) and, most recently, the flourishing of morality in markets scholarship (e.g., Fourcade & Healy 2007, Quinn 2008, Abend 2014, Reich 2014,Wilkis 2017, Beunza 2019, Kiviat 2019, Livne 2019, Altomonte 2020).”
The social order of markets (2009, background): “markets. In this sense, “markets are explicitly moral projects, saturated with normativity” ( Fourcade and Healy 2007: 22 ).”
Forage for Thought: Mobilizing Codes in the Movement for Grass-fed Meat and Dairy Products (2008, neutral): “Unlike routine technological innovations, however, movement-driven projects often infuse new markets with moral value and contest institutionalized industry codes (Zelizer, 1983; Rao, Monin, and Durand, 2003; Rao and Giorgi, 2006; Fourcade-Gourinchas and Healy, 2007).”
From dissonance to resonance: cognitive interdependence in quantitative finance (2012, neutral): “1 See also Callon (1998, 2007), MacKenzie and Millo (2003), Mackenzie (2006); for reviews, see Fligstein and Dauter (2007), Fourcade and Healy (2007), Ferraro et al. (2005).”
Beyond Altruism: Sociological Foundations of Cooperation and Prosocial Behavior (2015, neutral): “Economic sociologists have also studied how market norms and institutions frame the morality of a given behavior and can thereby alter cultural conceptions of what is moral or immoral (Fourcade & Healy 2007).”
