Lisa Herzog
Reviews and Awards
Awarded the Political Studies Association's Sir Ernest Barker Prize
"The author's philosophical approach, which stands in contrast to how economic theory is practised nowadays, is precisely what makes the book interesting ...Inventing the Market clearly is an excellent piece of scholarly effort as the various prizes won by Herzog for this work confirm." --The LSE Review of Books
"Throughout the book, Herzog deftly incorporates a variety of voices from contemporary political theory, sociology, and economics. Her range is quite impressive, as is her ability to bring these classic texts into discussion without compromising the quality of the historical scholarship. The analysis of Smith and Hegel is excellent throughout, and the application of the two helps us think about these old problems in new and productive ways." --Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
