Summary:Each time society enters a new economic crisis, it asks what the economy should be like or, more specifically, what a market economy should be like. This discussion continues to divide the public and scientists into two opposing camps.

These opposing viewpoints are reflected in the article below, whose author, in investigating noneconomic effects of market processes, argues in favor of nonmarket levers of the economy.
