How Markets Work presents a new and refreshing introduction to elementary economics. The venerable theory of supply and demand is reconstituted upon plausible and defensible assumptions concerning human nature, the law, and the facts of everyday life - in short - the 'Real World'. The message is that markets differ in ways that matter. Starting with a brief survey of property and contract law, the lectures develop several 'ideal types' of markets - such as credit, assets, and labor - while illuminating the similarities and differences among them. Care has been taken to ensure that the reformulations presented are accessible to students and compatible with a variety of non-mainstream traditions in economic thoughtSummary: pt. 1. The theory of markets -- pt. 2. Market processes when information matters -- pt. 3. Labor markets -- pt. 4. Social, ethical and political considerationsPPN: PPN: 1023445492Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-EWE
