"Seamlessly weaving old literatures with new, this book grapples with the processes by which capitalism explores and – when possible, exploits – biological resources. Interdisciplinary in its scope, Organizations and the Bioeconomy gives us a lucid and well researched account of how ‘life’ is increasingly becoming the currency of control in the twenty-first century." – Michael Carolan, Colorado State University, USA

This book examines the so-called 'bioeconomy' as a new economic and commercial field that emphasizes the management of individual life, including the regulation and control of weight and food consumption and other issues pertaining to individual well-being. In addition, the bioeconomy includes a variety of practices based on commercial interests such as organ donations, reproductive medicine and technologies, and what has been referred to as the tissue economy - the various forms of trade with human tissues. Author Alexander Styhre provides a thorough introduction to the bioeconomy, exploring this new and unique intersection of the life sciences and the technosciences with more traditional consumer markets.
