Summary:

Nowadays the market, and neo-liberalism in general, seems to be in disarray. With support waning for an unfettered market, various critics are seeking alternatives. This book presents the idea that a new way of thinking about the economy may be productive, particularly one that does not rely on an unregulated market to secure economic order. In this context, the notion of a post-market society is introduced to describe this shift in orientation. The general theme is that markets are imperfect, despite what their advocates declare.
