The market has long been  criticized as an inappropriate method of allocation, encouraging market  participants to misbehave for the sake of personal gain, and creating an  impersonal new market culture. This book traces how such attacks have become  more vociferous in recent centuries, especially with the rise of socialism.  Most recently the critique has broadened to include toxic markets and the  excessive marketization of activities hitherto external to the market.  Analysing these major criticisms, as well as the value of regulation, utopias  and virtue ethics as a means of avoiding future suspicions of markets, the  author lays the groundwork for the reader’s own assessment of the arguments,  and concludes by posing suggestions of how best we might cope with flawed  markets in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-10-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319408071\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-40808-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 194\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47693223329932,"sku":"9783319408071","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319408071.jpg?v=1776773163","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319408071","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
