      abstract = {"Examines the importance of cultural meaning in the  creation and utilization of economic value. Based on  case-studies from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and  Indonesia, the authors demonstrate that micro-scale  entrepreneurship is intertwined with prevailing  conceptions, moralities and habituations in the  entrepreneurs' social milieu. More specifically, the volume  argues that meaning-making is integral to economic  opportunity; that economic actors' market agency is shaped  by cultural experiences; that entrepreneurs' prototypical  "individualism" is socially contingent; and that cultural  meanings channel economic value among economic and social  domains. Addressing core questions about "embedding", the  authors suggest theoretical convergences between economic  anthropology and economic sociology"--},
