Sex workers, street hawkers, drug sellers, cleaners - they are people living on the margins of urban life who are ubiquitous but widely misunderstood and notably absent from mainstream economic analyses. This book uses ethnographic research to cut through the conventional narratives that romanticize, victimize, or demonize these populations.
