“…These informal loans, which create financial, social, and moral obligations, are one of the main strategies in maintaining these exchange relationships. They illustrate how an "interpersonal regime of social regulation" (Pannier, 2021) plays a crucial role in facilitating transactions and, more broadly, in supporting the operation of the dairy sector alongside commercial and contractual processes.…”

“…Commercial transactions can involve personal relationships; it is even common in Southeast Asia and beyond, notably to reduce uncertainty (Steiner, 2010). However, according to the dominant individualist and legal-contractual logic of the market (in classical economics), the presence of a personal link in the interaction can occur, but is not a condition for the transfer to take place (Dufy & Weber, 2007;Pannier, 2021). The history of global capitalism's expansion is marked by the gradual depersonalization of commercial relationships and the decoupling of exchanges from personal ties or those related to status (Polanyi, 2001).…”

“…In addition to commercial and contractual processes, the logic of the personal relationship, between debt and gift, plays a crucial role in regulating transactions between stakeholders. We assume that an "interpersonal regime of social regulation" (Pannier, 2021) and the resources to which such a regime provides access underpins the operation of these sectors at the local level. These interpersonal relationships not only provide access to resources that are used to produce the raw material that will flow upstream.…”

This chapter contributes to analysis of the diversity of capitalisms by exploring the extra-economic foundations of the Vietnamese market economy. The Vietnamese economic system has undergone the transition from a domestic rural economy under imperial and colonial regimes to a collectivist system and then to today's market economy connected to transnational capitalist forces. These dynamics have engendered a specific entanglement of various socioeconomic logics that we propose to grasp through the concept of "economic hybridity". Rather than describing how societies are penetrated by capitalism, we reverse the perspective and study how societies absorb capitalism and merge it within other socio-economic formations. Among the various norms and institutions that regulate the Vietnamese market economy, we focus on the role, logic, and functioning of interpersonal networks. To address this issue, we conducted two field studies in the dairy and maize sectors in northern Vietnam. Our results show how the gift and debt logics that regulate interpersonal relationships within village communities sustain and shape these industrial-capitalist sectors. We highlight an ambivalence whereby these non-capitalist logics and relations both support and alter the functioning of the capitalist economy.
