Abstract

Earlier chapters dealt with a Left and a Right anti-economics. We now turn to a species of anti-economics that challenges a thesis that is shared by Left anti-economics, Right anti-economics, and economics itself: that human economic experience, in so far as it can be understood at all, is a unity; in so far as markets can be rationalised, the laws and regularities that do so encompass all markets; in so far as human drives behind those markets can be accounted for, the laws and regularities that do so encompass all human beings. Heterogeneity in manners and markets are not denied, but they are lawless and cannot be explained by reference to less than universal categories.
