- More about Markets against Modernity: Ecological Irrationality, Public and Private
Ryan Murphy's Markets Against Modernity explores the gaps between public and informed opinion, highlighting ecological irrationality in modern institutions.

Ryan Murphy's book Markets Against Modernity explores the connections between personal errors and gaps between public and informed opinion. He identifies these errors as Ecological Irrationality, which arise from the differences between modern institutions and how our brains evolved to understand economic, social, and physical relationships. Murphy's exploration of these divergences leads to challenging questions and conclusions that may challenge the beliefs of those who believe in modern vaccines, self-sufficiency, and expert consensus. He raises the question of whether we want a less cohesive society, whether doing tasks ourselves is financially prudent, and whether there is a way to implement expert consensus and achieve desired effects.
