The Great Transformation

Daniel Friedman

Chapter 3 in Morals and Markets, 2008, pp 43-58 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract About two hundred years ago, a new system took root in Western Europe. That system then spread across the globe, bringing down the last of the great empires and setting humanity on a new course. Markets are the core of the new system, but it reaches far beyond the economic sphere and pervades all aspects of our social life, including governance, technology, education, and even religion.
