The article treats the market (or tianguis) as an economic institution in which several different forms of goods exchange intermingle, forming a hybrid system of predominantly monetary exchange. These transactions are described ethnographically to reveal that economic reality is mediated by the sociocultural features of subjects whose function is primarily economic.

Palabras clave : Exchange system; barter; market; tianguis; economy.
