I remember EP Thompson speaking in a lecture about how early markets were seen as socially liberating: a couple cannot get divorced so they go to the market with the man leading the wife by a rope tied round her waist and the man ‘sells’ her to her lover for a barrel of beer…
I can’t tell you which of his works this can be found, however. Perhaps someone else can…

Karl Polanyi's THE GREAT TRANSFORMATION comes immediately to mind.
Fred Block and Margaret R. Somers have a good recent book, THE POWER OF MARKET FUNDAMENTALISM: KARL POLANYI'S CRITIQUE that restates and examines Polanyi's work. Another good and recent treatment is Gareth Dale's KARL POLANYI: A LIFE ON THE LEFT. I mention both of these books because they put Polanyi's work in context for someone who is not already well versed in economic thought. But it would be best to read THE GREAT TRANSFORMATION itself. Read alongside Elizabeth Gaskell's NORTH AND SOUTH it provides a vivid picture of the intertwined intellectual and everyday life efforts to make sense of a rapidly changing world

Subject: [SHOE] The “idea of the market” in the British p olitical economy and beyond
A colleague of mine in the English Department has put to me a request for readings on the idea of the market (both primary and secondary sources), and I am turning to the SHOE list for suggestions that I can pass on to him. What follows is his own statement of what he is on about. Suggestions are much appreciated.
I'm interested in the history of the idea of the market, specifically how ideas of the market evolve in the UK from 1700 to 1830.
My work is on portraits and money (portraits as a kind of money and money as a kind of portrait), and I am a good bit concerned with the rise of paper money and the credit economy, etc. My interest in ideas of the market follows as a matter of course. Particularly in light of Smith's need to animate his theory with the invisible hand.
Best wishes,
Steve Medema
