Dr. Nunziato's research examines how marketplace exchanges mediate human goods like intimacy, solidarity, justice, and flourishing that cannot, themselves, be bought or sold. For instance, hisÌýÌý(Cambridge University Press: 2020) considers how sacrifice—enacted through marketplace transactions—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 psychedelics and whistleblowing to pop music. Each topic provides a different lens onto the question of how human values irreducible to marketplace value are nevertheless mediated through exchange. Ultimately, acknowledging such mediation is vital for creating a more sustainable world.
