In \u003ci\u003eNature-Made Economy\u003c\/i\u003e, Kristin Asdal and Tone Huse explore how the ocean has been harnessed to become a space of capital investment and innovation, and how living nature is wrested into the economy even as nature, in turn, resists, adapts to, or changes the economy. The authors’ innovative methodological and conceptual approaches examine the economy by focusing on surprising and numerous “little tools”—such as maps and policy documents, quality patrols, and dietary requirements for the enhancement of species’ biological propensities—that value, direct, reorder, accomplish, and sometimes fail to serve our ends, but also add up to great change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout \u003ci\u003eNature-Made Economy\u003c\/i\u003e, Asdal and Huse follow one species, the Atlantic cod, and explore how it is subjected to different versions of economization. Taking this species as a point of departure, they then provide novel analyses of the innovation economy, the architecture of markets, the settling of prices, and more, revealing how the ocean is rendered a space of intense economic exploitation. Through their analysis, the authors develop a distinct theoretical approach and conceptual vocabulary for studying nature–economy relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNature-Made Economy\u003c\/i\u003e is a significant contribution to the broad field of STS and social studies of markets, as well as to studies of the Anthropocene, the environment, and human–animal relations.CONTENTS \u003cbr\u003eACKNOWLEDGMENTS vii \u003cbr\u003e INTRODUCTION: THE GREAT ECONOMIZATION OF THE OCEAN 1 \u003cbr\u003e1 WRITING NATURE ECONOMY RELATIONS 17 \u003cbr\u003e2 RADICAL REVALUATION: ECONOMIZATION AT ALL DEPTHS AND SCALES 45 \u003cbr\u003e3 BIOCAPITALIZATION: REARING, GROWING, NURTURING 81 \u003cbr\u003e4 LIMITS TO PUSH, AN OCEAN TO GROW 109 \u003cbr\u003e5 INTO INNOVATION 137 \u003cbr\u003e6 PRICES FOR COLLECTIVE CONCERNS 165 \u003cbr\u003e7 THE ARCHITECTURE OF MEGA MARKETS 195 \u003cbr\u003e8 GOOD NATURE, GOOD ECONOMY 221 \u003cbr\u003eNOTES 231 \u003cbr\u003eREFERENCES 237 \u003cbr\u003eINDEX 259“A remarkable foray into the power of valuation: the authors beautifully demonstrate that considering things in terms of capital is really about reconfiguring them altogether.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Fabian Muniesa, Professor, École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris\u003c\/b\u003eKristin Asdal is Professor of STS at the University of Oslo.
