This is a set of novel contributions exploring the sociology of 'market devices' - the analysis of the various sorts of technical instruments that intervene in the shaping and reshaping of markets. This title explores how market devices are set to configure economic calculative capacities and observes the part they play in the marketability of goods and services. It includes a wide array of objects that have been often overlooked in sociological analysis from pricing models to merchandising tools, from trading protocols to aggregate indicators. It analyses the performative aspects of knowledge and expertise needed in adjusting and calibrating marketing devices. It includes original empirical material from the emerging intersection between economic sociology and science and technology studies.
