Table of ContentsReviews"""With theoretical depth and accessible writing, Burke brings lucid ethnographic and historical context to an analysis of the possibilities and constraints on diverse economic experimentation, both as a mode of survival and of transformation in Medellin. Burke joins this ethnographic realism with a stance towards possibility; he details how barter networks interrupt capitalist logics and desires, rework space and place, shift social relations, and most importantly cultivate subjectivities at the level of everyday practice and engagement. This is an important book for anyone interested in understanding and advancing post-capitalist imaginings and practices.""--Boone Shear ""co-editor of Learning Under Neoliberalism: Ethnographies of Governance in Higher Education"" ""Brian Burke has produced a rich, wonderfully evocative and thickly described portrayal of the real economy through which millions of us make livelihoods and struggle, imperfectly, for something better. Latin America has often been inspirational to those of us in the neoliberalized North, and here you will find inspiration from a close observation of early experiments in developing economies where what matters is living well rather than endless growth.""--Peter North ""author of Money and Liberation: The Micropolitics of Alternative Currency Movements""" Brian Burke has produced a rich, wonderfully evocative and thickly described portrayal of the real economy through which millions of us make livelihoods and struggle, imperfectly, for something better.
