The Libertarian Fantasy of an Ethical Market

Joseph E. Pluta

A chapter in A Research Annual, 2007, pp 13-23 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: The book is part political polemic, part loosely logical philosophy, and (very small) part economic analysis. Despite its dramatic prose, many of the author's arguments are unconvincing, annoyingly redundant, very weak in their use of history, and highly selective in their empiricism. Stating what a chapter will do and then concluding at the end it has done so when the evidence in between is either weak or is based on circular reasoning is actually a common practice. Numbers are virtually non-existent despite many statements which suggest some quantitative work has been done.
