{"product_id":"9781842773550","title":"Commodified World?: Mapping the Limits of Capitalism","description":"\u003cp\u003eCritiques the notion that in Late Capitalism all economic relations become always ever more commodified, while ‘non-capitalist‘ activities disappear. It demonstrates that a combination of new ‘cultures of resistance‘ all constrain this tendency or even threaten to reverse it. Colin Williams finds that, even in the advanced economies, a non-commodified realm persists that is as large as the commodified sphere and growing relative to it. He draws on extensive empirical evidence of trends and new patterns of economic activity - including changes in women‘s participation, differences between wealthy and poor urban areas, and between urban and rural sectors. He explores non-commodified practices of resistance. And he concludes that governments and communities, by de-coupling production and consumption from the commodified realm, could open up alternative development paths.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zed Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057513742576,"sku":"9781842773550","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781842773550_p0.jpg?v=1763742041","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781842773550","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
