  Dealing with economic sociology, this title introduces the theory and practical tools needed to analyze markets for singularities. It shows that because of the uncertainty and the subjective valuation of singularities, the markets related to movies, music, and fine wine are equipped with the 'judgment devices' such as brands, critics and rankings.
