In this fascinating and challenging work, the author analyses the way water for drinking is produced, distributed, owned, acquired, and consumed in contrasting ways in different settings. From sparkling mineral water in Germany, to drinking water garages in Taiwan, from water tankers in Mexico City to street vendors in Delhi markets, comparisons are made to stretch our understanding of what we mean by ‘an economy’, quality, and property rights, of water. In addition, the study of socio-economics of drinking water provides a route into understanding interactions between polity, economy and nature. 20% Discount Available - enter the code FLR40 at checkout* Hb: 978-1-138-81697-8 | £68.00 * Offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discount and only applies to books purchased directly via our website.
