Book excerpt: Addressing the infrastructural, legal and moral complexities in contemporary world trade, this book uses an ethnographic analysis of the interface of multinational brand manufacturers and popular traders in the Bolivian Andes.

It aims to humanize our understanding of the economy by grounding it in everyday life and morality.
