Market Relations and the Competitive Process

Description

The book, newly available in paperback, considers the social role of economic institutions in society and examines the various meanings embedded in the word 'markets', as well as developing arguments on the nature of competition as an instituted economic process, rather than as competition being something that disturbs norms or institutions. -- .
