As a curious bystander, I have always been interested in the loopholes inherent in global capitalism. With all the burgeoning growth in the global economy, one has to be willfully blind not to notice the growing inequality and imbalance in the world today.

While the market system trumps other economic systems, its limits are worth exploring and observing, and this little book makes very succinct observations without rehashing the age-old market vs state argument (as a clue; it does not have to be one or the other).

The difficult problem of how to limit the market with state interventions without inhibiting the unbiased hand of the market is introduced in this book. If you are desirous of how the markets can reign but not supremely, this book is a worthy introduction. Simple and lucid book.
