Markets, market-making and marketing (2007, background): “Callon’s controversial approach has elicited criticism (Miller, 2002) and praise (Slater, 2002) in equal measures.”
The anti-political economy (2002, background): “2 See the collection of papers on the US presidential election brought together in the June 2001 issue of Social Studies of Science.”
