ABSTRACT

Ultimately, this project does not simply question the morality of the consumer and producer behavior that has become increasingly common in the context of neoliberal globalization; it calls into question the rationality of such practices. It comes to the conclusion that societal norms, ideas, and practices form an infrastructure that determines whether market actors (people) will have an incentive to make decisions that promote justice or exacerbate injustice. By studying the infrastructural conditions under which justice is rational, this book seeks to encourage investment in those infrastructures. This concluding chapter highlights some of the alternative market practices that are actively attempting to build infrastructures of justice and redefine the notion of market rationality in the process.
