To highlight the sources, processes, and outcomes of moral struggles in and around markets, sociologists present empirical studies on struggles around morally contested markets, coping with moral struggles in moral(ized) markets, and moral entrepreneurship and moral struggles in the market field. Among their topics are contested markets: morality, market devices, and vulnerable populations; relational work as a market device: an analysis of the contested "voluntary" carbon offset market; the moralization of labor: establishing the social responsibility of employers for disabled workers; protest rhetoric's appeal: how brands as moral entrepreneurs recruit the media into moral struggles; and contesting the digital economy: struggles over Uber in Poland.
