Research
My research interests centre on money and markets. I am fascinated by the many ways in which people organize their exchange at the local level. That takes many formats: creating a complementary currency, engineering a local market, coordinating a value chain or a local system of production, forming a producers' association or social enterprise, and so on. All of these initiatives require the building of institutions, which are the systems of rules that structure socio-economic life. The two most critical institutions around exchange are money and markets. Often organised by economic actors locally, they exist in great diversity: there is exchange without markets, markets without money, money that doesn't look like such and is not used in markets, and so on.
