The moral economy tradition argues that markets are never morally neutral: legitimacy depends on embedded norms and enforceable obligations. This essay traces that lineage from E. P. Thompson’s account of “just price” expectations in English crowds, through Polanyi’s embeddedness and “fictitious commodities,” to Scott’s subsistence ethics, Granovetter’s networked markets, and Akbar’s built-environment responsibility regimes — ending with a practical framework for diagnosing modern “decoupling” and what re-embedding requires. #MoralEconomy #Polanyi #Thompson #Granovetter #SocialTheory #Governance #Legitimacy #Embeddedness #PoliticalEconomy #EconomicSociology #InstitutionalDesign #Accountability Moral Economy Embeddedness Political Economy Economic Sociology Institutional Design Accountability Legitimacy Social Theory Karl Polanyi E.
