This essay explores White's arguments in Markets from Networks (2002), highlighting differences and analogies to economic models of markets and the complexity of White's approach. It argues that construing markets from the viewpoint of producer firms' market strategies may be theoretically limiting and politically inadequate in a world increasingly characterized by market mechanisms and by struggles over the definition of markets.
