It has certain strengths, but also inherent defects. The trick is to employ this instrument appropriately". is that really all the market is - a device that can be shaped to produce desirable (whatever they may be) outcomes...what about all the ways that markets conceal and distort their operations thereby confusing and misleading people about freedom, equality, human nature, money exchange & social relations...Michael --- from list marxism-international-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
