The Myth of the Global Market: A Marxist Critique of Neoliberalism

Capitalism is often held to be the best of all possible worlds, or even the only possible world, in which the market is underpinned by the highest principles of rationality, efficiency, and compatibility with democracy. These truths are backed up by economists. This book questions these ＂scientific truths＂.

Giulio Palermo is a Researcher in Political Economy at the University of Brescia (Italy). He was formerly an official at the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance. His publications deal with Marxism, critique of neoliberalism, relations between economics and ideology, ontology, methodology, and power relations.
