Abstract
Of these, Karl Polanyi’s critique of 1944 provided the most powerful in the recent period, denying that markets are natural and arguing they are a poor way of allocating resources. Later objections to markets, particularly Sandel’s, Marquand’s, Hutton’s and Jenkins’ include the marketisation of society, the extension of commodification, and failure to respect persons and the environment.
