Many people blame today's economic inequality, stagnation, and political instability on the free market. The solution is to rein in the market, right?

Radical Markets challenges this thinking. With a new foreword by Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin and virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier, as well as a new afterword by Eric Posner and Glen Weyl, this provocative book reveals bold new ways to organize markets for the good of everyone. It shows how the emancipatory force of genuinely open, free, and competitive markets can reawaken the dormant nineteenth-century spirit of liberal reform and lead to greater equality, prosperity, and cooperation.

Only by radically expanding the scope of markets can we reduce inequality, restore robust economic growth, and resolve political conflicts. But to do that, we must replace our most sacred institutions with truly free and open competition.

Radical Markets shows how.
