Overview
Market process theory is crucial to our knowledge and expectations of actors working toward economic coordination and cooperation. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, there has been a renewed interested in using new applications of market process theory to better understand the global political economy. This volume brings together original research from the Austrian, Virginia, and Bloomington schools of political economy to analyse central elements of market process and market order. These include economic calculation, entrepreneurship, institutions and learning. Edited by three of the leading scholars in this field, the collection offers a multitude of new interdisciplinary understandings by engaging with scholars working in anthropology, economics, entrepreneurship, history, political science, public policy, and sociology.

This is a truly interdisciplinary work. One of its greatest strengths is the editors' ability to bring contributions from such a wide range of disciplines into focus within the frame work of market process economics and public choice. -- Benjamin Powell, Director of the Free Market Institute, Texas Tech University The topics contained in the book are not only of interest to those working to understand the theoretical underpinnings of the various schools of thought, but are also of interest to those wishing to analyse and discuss policy...
