Der Markt diktiert unsere Wirtschaft: Er zwingt Unternehmen zu Entlassungen, scheucht die Politik vor sich her oder reagiert nervoes. Doch existiert dieser "Markt" uberhaupt? Und was verbirgt sich dahinter? Peter Seele und Lucas Zapf raumen auf mit dieser Vergoetterung eines bewahrten Tauschmechanismus zwischen Individuen, Unternehmen und oeffentlichen Akteuren. In diesem Buch betrachten sie den Marktbegriff unter logischen Aspekten und untersuchen seine Bedeutung und Verwendung in der Sprache. Mit diesem logischen Blickwinkel fallen sie keine Aussage uber ein wahrhaftiges Dasein des Marktes - vielmehr weisen sie darauf hin, wie die Marktvergoetterung genutzt wird, um beispielsweise unangenehme Entscheidungen zu legitimieren und die Verantwortung auf einen ominoesen Markt abzuwalzen. Sie entwerfen einen freien und aufgeklarten Marktbegriff, der diese riskanten Verzerrungen verhindert.
