We have become accustomed to economists and politicians talking
about "market forces" as if they are immutable laws of the
universe. But what exactly is "the market"? Originally an abstract
idea from economic theory - the locus of supply and demand - it has
come to inform the way we speak about our relationship to the
economic system as a whole. Matthew Watson unpacks the concept to
ask what does it really mean to allow ourselves to submit to market
forces. And does economic theory really provide insights into the
market institutions that shape our everyday life? In tackling these
questions, the book provides a major contribution to a deeper
appreciation of the dominant economic language of our time,
challenging the idea that we can simply defer to the "logic of the
market".
