Can Markets Be Caring?

We revisit the inter-disciplinary debate on the compatibility between market and “care” logics. We unpack care logics and distinguish between mainstream and alternative market logics. Our paper adds complexity to this pertinent debate while offering a more nuanced understanding of care in consumption, recommendations for public policy and future research.
