Economic sociology has convincingly shown markets to be structured by socially constructed sets of institutions, i.e. stabilized systems of rules, norms, and expectations (Hall and Taylor, 2009).

Notwithstanding the considerable contribution of this research tradition to knowledge about economies, to date its primary focus has not been upon precisely who produces these institutions, how, why and to what effect.
