Hi Michael,
Yes we are... I was unclear about the target of the critique. It seemed
like he doubled back in the following paragraphs, but I think I got
thrown off by some of the translation (or was it transliteration? :) ).
Thanks,
Ann

Ann, your question is right on target. Callon is not a walrasian. After describing
the strawberry market, he makes a similar point to the one you made. But the whole
concept of that strawberry market was walrasian. Are we on the same page?

Michael, how Walrasian is that idea when Callon is positive, yet
cautious, regarding the use of ANT since its use does allow for “the
variety of possible configurations of the action” despite some
potentially essentialized or dichotomized premises on what constitutes
voluntary action? What would this mean for proposing non- or
post-walrasian concepts?
