Fixing Prices

Franck Cochoy, Johan Hagberg and Hans Kjellberg

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Shedding light on a range of price fixing mechanisms and price display technologies, this incisive book offers a clear overview of the retail price setting, posting and adjusting processes. Based on a detailed study of a century of pricing practices in the US retail sector, it explores the anthropology and sociology of valuation practices by concentrating on the way prices are fabricated.
