Labour Market Organization

In and of itself, the market is not, and must not become, the place where the strong subdue the weak.

Faith in natural order and market efficiency forecloses a full normative assessment of market outcomes. ... It effectively depoliticizes the market itself and its outcomes. It is only when the illusion of natural order is lifted that a real problem arises: that of the justice of the organizational rules and their distributional consequences.

The market does not exist in the pure state. It is shaped by the cultural configurations which define it and give it direction.
