Book review: Dobeson A, 2019: Revaluing coastal fisheries: how small boats navigate new markets and technology, Palgrave Macmillan, Switzerland

How nature interfaces with markets, influences technology and in turn conditions the way humans organize their lives is not a common theme dealt with by economists or sociologists. Perhaps, this is due to the fact that most studies of market, technology and institutions deal with sectors of the economy and society where the determining influence of nature per se is not of much consequence. Nature may be present, but is very much in the backdrop.
