Description

In the wake of the failure of 'really existing socialism' in Eastern Europe and Asia, the market has become the perceived supreme element in rational economic systems. This book from the Economics as Social Theory series explores the modern shift in economic debate, where the focus has moved from the existence of the system to the definition of its proper boundaries. This work provides a critical evaluation of the arguments used to defend the market. By examining the recent defenses of market systems, the author identifies and highlights major weaknesses in the cases made by its proponents. Using extensive research, this text offers a necessary look at the limits of market application in contemporary society. Ideal for students and scholars of economics, philosophy, and political theory, this Routledge publication examines the tension between market efficiency and social theory. It serves as an important resource for understanding how the boundaries of markets are defined and the implications these definitions have for ethics, knowledge, and politics.
