On the social structure of markets
探讨市场交易依赖的买卖角色和人际关系等社会结构，提出分层方法区分市场与非市场交换，揭示市场的制度特征，为具体市场案例研究提供依据。
Economic theorists have seldom discussed the social structures behind markets, even though market trading relies heavily on seller/buyer roles and personal relations among traders. This paper considers the structural basis of markets and proposes a layered approach which accommodates a wide range of competitive and relational trade within a definition of markets that distinguishes them from non-market exchange. Giving due regard to social structures lays bare the institutional character of markets and provides a rationale for case studies of how particular markets function.
