Mahamadou Bassirou Tangara: Market processes at the Grand Marché de Bamako: An empirical approach
Market, a major concept in economics, remains the real source of discord in social sciences.The debate around this concept is controversial and is at several levels such as the status, the resource allocation mechanism role, the autonomous and modelling nature of other sectors of society by market, and the market's purely economic model etc. This model is criticized for its extremely abstract, hypothetical, and epistemological nature, thus posing important difficulties in the field of economics, which is intended to be a science of market relations from the outset. By partaking in this debate and employing the theory of multiple markets, answers to the fundamental and non-exclusive questions that follow, by considering the market as a normative structure shall be provided. To this effect, the ‘Grand Marché de Bamako’ shall be used as a case study. What values underlie market exchange and how do they emerge? How do market values in turn affect social life? Is economic efficiency on the market a normative prescription? What are the contemporary debates around the market and their stumbling blocks?
