En la obra se profundiza en 1968 como un año central de los global sixties para rastrear el día a día noticio a partir de la revisión de diarios como El Tiempo, El Espectador, El Heraldo, El Colombiano, El País, El Espacio y Vanguardia Liberal. Para los autores, el sentido de la reconstrucción histórica reside en la posibilidad de "constatar que en 1968 principalmente en las ciudades, se sienten los efectos de la revolución cultural planetaria del 68" (p. 41); al mismo tiempo, ello permite registrar los procesos endógenos de un país que avanza dos pasos hacia la modernidad, pero retrocede uno por cuenta de sus problemas sociales, políticos y de violencia. Como correlato de esta preocupación por los detalles noticiosos de 1968 se encuentra una investigación que pretende indagar por las características y los significados de lo que los autores denominan la "utopía antisistémica de los años sesenta", con "sus discontinuidades en las siguientes décadas y los procesos de represión estatal que se derivan de la movilización social, especialmente, la estudiantil universitaria" (p. 43).

Exchange Ideologies documents the social world of Aleppo's traders before the destruction of the city, exploring changing conceptions of commerce in Syria. Syria's traders have been seen as embodying a timeless culture of "the bazaar," or an ahistorical Islamic culture of trade. Other accounts portray them as venal figures, motivated only by profit, and commerce as a purely instrumental pursuit. Rejecting both approaches, Paul Anderson traces the diverse social structures, and notions of language, through which Aleppo's merchants understood and construed commerce and the figure of the merchant during a period of economic liberalization in the 2000s. Rather than seeing these social structures and representations as expressions of a timeless bazaar culture, or as shaped only by Islamic tradition, Exchange Ideologies relates them to processes of politically managed economic liberalization and the Syrian regime's attempts to ensure its own survival in the midst of change. In doing so, Anderson provides an account of economic liberalization in Syria as a social and cultural process as much as a political and economic one

""The book is an account of economic liberalization in Aleppo in the 2000s as a social and cultural process as much as a political and economic one. It charts the understandings of commerce and of merchants that came to the fore in Syria as Baathism declined as an official ideology."
