The Market Revolution and its Limits: A Price for Everything [Paperback]

Alan Shipman (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0415157366 | ISBN-13: 978-0415157360 | Publication Date: May 14, 1999 | Edition: 1

The Market Revolution and its limits summarises why many economists believe that markets are best. It explores how even 'market failures' can be given market solutions, and asks why market ideas seem to have taken such a firm hold. Non-polemical in its approach, this book provides a comprehensive appraisal of the market and its alternatives, backed up with empirical international illustrations.
Shipman concludes that the 'revolution' lies in redefining the market process rather than the market outcome.
