Why is it important?
Available research suggests some convergence of the sacred and profane in the spatial economics of the markets against the strict distinction that Durkheim opined. We have studied the spatial economics of the intersection of the sacred and the profane specifically in urban markets in Ibadan, Nigeria.
Perspectives
Conducting this research with other authors was to me a pleasure; the cooperation of the team was commendable, the field work experience was interesting and the writing has clearly shown how the ‘sacred’ and the ‘Profane’ connect, especially in Urban markets in Ibadan.
