"""In this beautifully written book, Henry Clark marshals recent social-scientific and historical scholarship to reappraise the concept of moral economy made famous by E.P. Thompson. Presenting a nuanced interpretation of how people thought about and interacted with markets in preindustrial Europe, Clark makes clear that the psychological, philosophical, and economic ground was well prepared for the coming industrial economy of mass production and mass consumption."" -- Steven G. Marks, Professor of History Emeritus, Clemson University; author of The Information Nexus: Global Capitalism from the Renaissance to the Present (Cambridge UP, 2016)."
