Abstract

The ideology of how economic activity is organized in capitalist economies is sharp and simple - markets. However, in reality, economic activities in capitalist economies are organized in a variety of different ways, market organization prominent among them but not totally dominating. The basic argument of this paper is that capitalist economies should be understood as mixed economies.
