| Summary, etc | This is a book from the street level because it is a story about love, the love for a street-level market—Harvard Square—and, as Catherine Turco tells us, one “cannot tell a love story from the clouds” (p. 19). An aerial view of the market, in which faceless, calculative, and self-interested actors engage in arm’s-length transactions, is what many of us have learned in economics textbooks. But very often, the market, particularly a street-level market, does not correspond to this stylized image from the clouds. Since the 1630s, when the early market sat in the center of Newtowne (in what is today Winthrop Park) before moving to Harvard Square, the market has been a natural center of village social life. Yet, over the years this market, like other street-level markets, has undergone several changes, at times even major transformations. Despite all this, it has remained an arena in which the economic, social, and more personal aspects of people’s lives interact and intertwine in ways that make a street-level market truly unique. Attempts to integrate insights from sociology, psychology, and economics to analyze the unique particularities of street-level markets and the multilayered relationships we develop with them are rare. Looking at this type of market from the perspectives of the different actors who compose it, Harvard Square: A Love Story is a systematic effort to advance an interdisciplinary, multilevel account of street-level markets, which I hope will inspire other scholars to engage in similar intellectual endeavors.- Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00018392241244780 |
