I study markets as social forms, with a special interest in the ways global macro-structures like the market economy are enacted locally, in small group interactions. My primary research question is: how do individuals “perform” the market? You can get a quick overview of the empirical topics I address from my blog and from this selection of essays written for non-academic audiences: Pop Finance: Investment Clubs & the New Investor Populism 2008, Princeton University Press?
