Is Green the New Black? Reflections on a Green Commodity Discourse (2010, background): “The ‘‘market idea’’ as Carrier (1997) refers to it, emerged as a hegemonic and totalizing concept that ‘‘constrains actions and thinking about the future’’ (Williams 2005, 25).”
Geographical political economy (2011, background): “…its adequacy, ubiquity and current hegemony have become the subject of a very active research agenda studying diverse and community economies, based on the premise that we have overlooked the potential of existing non-capitalist alternatives (Gibson-Graham, 1996, 2006; Williams, 2005; Lee, 2006).”
Escaping from the economy: the politics of degrowth (2008, background): “…these non economic spaces do not exist already; the myth of universal commodification tends to ignore the fact that many of us spend a significant proportion of our time providing for ourselves, or helping others provide for themselves, without relying on the market (e.g. Williams, 2004, 2005a, b).”

Oxford: Blackwell (2010, background): “…sought to provide exactly the form of recognition and give voice to non- or anti-capitalist activities that Gibson-Graham call for in The end (see, for example, Leyshon et al., 2003; Leyshon, 2005; Oberhauser, 2005; Williams, 2005; Gibson-Graham, 2006; McCarthy, 2006; but see also Samers, 2005).”
