African exporters suffer from low survival rates on international markets. They fail more often than others, incurring time and again the setup costs involved in starting new relationships. This high churning is a source of waste, uncertainty, and discouragement.

About this title

Review

<p> "This collection deals with one of the most important problems of the contemporary world, with some of the problems generated by the neoliberal market-fundamentalist. It is one of the best collections of discourses on this problematic." <strong><i>--Prof. S.N. Eisenstadt, The Jerusalem Van Leer Institute</i></strong> "The editors compiled a volume that delves into the foundations of normative behavior by exploring the specific contribution of morality, thus going beyond the existing sociological literature on the role played by the norms in facilitating exchange and reinforcing group behavior. There are a number of valuable contributions not mentioned above, and scholars from many disciplines will benefit from the essays presented in this volume." <strong>--<i>Canadian Journal of Sociology</i></strong></p>
