Description
James Stacey Taylor challenges prevailing debates over the moral limits of markets in "Markets with Limits". He argues that current discussions have become mired in a market-critical position that is rarely held, and instead focuses on an argument type that few people subscribe to. By clarifying the actual positions taken by critics of markets, Taylor aims to revive these debates.
The author contends that the shift towards market norms in academic research has led to a decline in quality. He proposes suggestions for how academics can return to more rigorous and normative approaches, ultimately improving the validity of their work.
