Rethinking market regulation

A subversive approach to economic theory, Rethinking Market Regulation explores the devastating impact of globalisation and a lack of governmental regulation on the US workforce. It challenges two key economic principles: that markets are competitive, making government intervention unnecessary, and the claim that corporations exist for the benefit of their shareholders, but not for other stakeholders. Arguing that both principles are based in myth, this book offers an insightful perspective into the plight of workers faced with widespread job losses through the merging and outsourcing of resources.
