Shared temporal structuring of a common object distinguishes global markets from ordinary electronic groups

Evidence

The reciprocal interlocking of time dimensions has brought into view a level of intersubjectivity that points beyond network perspectives as a key to the question of the inherent connectivity and integration of global markets as social forms. The elaborate temporal structuration and observation of a common object, the market, is also what most probably distinguishes global intersubjective fields from groups that hold electronic meetings for the purpose of either discussion or engaging in identity games and untried forms of interaction (e. — Karin Knorr Cetina & Urs Bruegger, Global Microstructures, 141
