The notion of individual sovereignty and the enabling influence of markets have led to a universal and ethically neutral perception of both social and economic organization. This groundbreaking text re-evaluates the purpose of society and the role of economics within it, contending that the absence of a beneficial natural order necessitates a re-examination of the collective's role in social and economic life. Drawing upon key figures who have made significant contributions to the evolution of social and economic thought, the author critiques mainstream economics as a way of thinking and as a provider of guiding principles for economic and social organization.
Volume I introduces the reader to the emergence of natural order, explores the internal logic of economics and its persuasive power in advocating for competitive interactions to govern all aspects of social life across societies, demonstrates that the economic conception of an order that solves society's economic problems is an impossibility that transforms markets from a natural phenomenon into a problem, and addresses the other apparent appeal of markets: their association with freedom and justice.
This is a bold and foundational new work that offers an original and innovative perspective on economics and its challenges, addressing core areas such as behavioral economics, evolutionary game theory, and the connections between social sciences (anthropology, philosophy) and neurosciences.
