Abstract
When we design new exchange platforms, we inherently adopt some assumptions about a social system—or create a new one. Markets are made, produced, and sustained by those involved in their functioning (Lampinen and Brown, 2017). Markets are human-created systems and, as such, it is up to us to fix them if they are broken, intervene when they are failing, and start new ones where they can be useful (Roth, 2015). Casting markets as human artifacts turns them into objects of design and critical scrutiny, and as such, more explicitly objects of study for HCI scholars. Beyond the exchange arrangements this book has focused on, there are many more we can work to improve—and endless others we could create.
