Zusammenfassung:What happens when social movement ideals meet market principles? Based on a three-year ethnography of a technology movement, this book shows how social movements make and shape markets. To illustrate how movements shape markets this book tells the story of the 'Circuit Riders', a group of social justice activists dedicated to sparking a technology revolution among grassroots and non-profit organisations. The movement enrolled and mobilised many activists, growing 10,000 strong in just a few years. But market forces soon derailed the revolution.
