The Evolutionary Origins of Markets by Rojhat Avar

The Evolutionary Origins of Markets by Rojhat Avar

The book integrates the growing body of experimental evidence on human nature scattered across a variety of disciplines into a coherent, original narrative about the extent to which market relations are reflective of the basic human sociality that was originally adapted to a more tribal existence.

"An important further step in the unification of diverse approaches into a coherent, consilient social exchange science" - Gerald A. Cory Jr., Author, Former Senior Fellow, San Jose State University, USA

"The current cutting-edge fields of evolutionary and complexity sciences, cognitive, neuro, brain and behavioural sciences, biological analogies, Institutionalism, Socio-Economics, and the different related computational strands, still are often only loosely connected. Those working in these fields will find this book providing a major step forward by integrating our knowledge on the evolution of human sociality, its cognitive, emotive, and behavioral foundations. While the literature in these fields has been exploding, here we have a most welcome integrating transdisciplinary work. Applying these stocks of knowledge to the foundations and evolution of "markets", socio-economists and social scientists of all perspectives will find how to make deeper sense of what we have used to call the social and institutional "embeddedness of markets". A highly recommended book. " Prof. Wolfram Elsner, University of Bremen, Germany
