Dr. Nunziato's research studies how market exchanges mediate human values like intimacy, authenticity, fairness, and solidarity, that cannot, themselves, be transacted. For instance, hisÌýÌý(Cambridge University Press: 2020) considers how sacrifice—enacted through marketplaces—either serves or undermines the common good. He hasÌýÌýinÌýBusiness Ethics QuarterlyÌý(2019) that business exchanges catalyze moral self-development. In various other articles—now under review or in development—Nunziato tackles a wide range of management and consumer behavior topics ranging from sex work to pop music. Each topic provides a different lens onto the question of how human values irreducible to marketplace value are enabled or disenabled through exchange. Ultimately, acknowledging such mediation is vital for creating a more sustainable world.
