It gathers contributions that focus on various domains, including the agri-food sector, the construction sector, eco-labelling, retail, health public policies and the energy sector, considering the use of labels for various objectives, such as providing legal and technical data on consumption products, certifying their quality, and indicating the approval of professional or political authorities. These practices are tied to both public and private interventions that make civic concerns visible and aim to govern them. The book considers 'labelling the economy' as an operation that introduces political questions into the economic realm, while also importing economic modes of reasoning into governance interventions. In doing so, the book considers the sociotechnical apparatus on which any label relies as a nexus where economic and political considerations are brought together. 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 606 $aScience and Technology Studies 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 615 14$aScience and Technology Studies. 676 $a741.692 702 $aLaurent$b Brice$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMallard$b Alexandre$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910377839803321 996 $aLabelling the Economy$92193427 997 $aUNINA
