A Multidimensional Approach to the Market Economy
Hardback
Publication Date: 23/11/2000
How do markets work? Are there different types of market? Markets are central to business enterprise and to a wide range of social activities. Following the collapse of communism, the market economy was proclaimed as the one way forward, the major agent behind the end of history. This collection of readings introduces the student to the workings of the market, explaining both the reasons for its success and its shortcomings. Throughout the text encourages a critical approach by showing that there is more than one way of studying the market and by demonstrating the diversity of market economies.
