Introduction: corporations and emerging markets

Douglas R. Holmes

A chapter in Elgar Encyclopedia of Economic Anthropology, 2025, pp 50-52 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This section presents anthropological perspectives on the corporate world. It highlights research on topics such as alternative currency designers, cooperatives as corporate actors, the billion-dollar video game industry, religious entrepreneurship, Islamic engagements with capitalism, and illegal and criminal economic activity. Inherent to this section is that some entries are more directly related to corporations and emerging markets within specific countries; Italy, Indonesia, Ghana and Brazil. The entries also show that in order to study corporations and emerging markets one also needs to do research within international networks and organizations that are often not rooted within a specific location, such as the world of corporate law, internationally connected gaming industries, Special Economic Zones, and networks of alternative currency designers. The diversity of methodological and theoretical approaches reveals what economic anthropology has to offer to our understanding of complex corporate worlds and emergent markets.
