Capitalism faltered at the end of the 1990s as corporations were rocked by fraud, the stock-market bubble burst and the American business model unfettered self-interest, privatization and low tax faced a storm of protest. But what are the alternatives to the mantras of market fundamentalism?Leading economist John Kay unravels the truth about markets, from Wall Street to Switzerland, from Russia to Mumbai, examining why some nations are rich and some poor, why one-size-fits-all globalization hurts developing countries and why markets can work but only in a humane social and cultural context. His answers offer a radical new blueprint for the future.

Line after line of trenchant, lucid insights into the nature of markets and human behavior.

Mr. Kay shows why humility, doubt and experimentation should be the main tools for approaching economic problems.

Read his regular columns, too, in the Financial Times if you want to be wiser.

The Emperor

Convincing and prescient

1 avril 2012 - Publié sur Amazon.com

A marvellous book. It is very well written and it can be easily understood even by people who have not studied any economics before.
He writes very convincingly of the power of markets and demonstrates just why capitalist economies have been a lot more successful than the economies of communist countries. He also brilliantly shows the limits to free a markets and details the areas where they fail.
As a framing device he uses the examples of individuals from different countries and explains why for example a highly educated scientist in Russian earns less than a much less educated farm worker in Sweden.

Occasionally I would have liked him to have gone into more detail on specific points of his arguments and sometimes he is perhaps a little glib but mostly it is excellently argued and quite witty in places.

He is very persuasive in his criticism of the "American Business Model" that the IMF has traditionally forced countries to adopt and that is constantly praised in Business magazines like Forbes and also in Wall Street Journal editorials. He explains the problems it can cause and also that it is basically a fantasy with the USA being in no way an actual example of an extreme free market system with almost no regulations.

There is an interesting section where he discusses adaptive behaviour. If you treat all your workers as being completely self interested, than they will be as that is the best behaviour for them to adopt. The same is true for self sustaining bureaucracies.

The book is extremely prescient in warning of problems in the financial sector. It is a shame that he and many other commentators were not listened to.

The purpose of an economic system is to enhance the welfare of the households that live in it

13 février 2010 - Publié sur Amazon.com

This formidable book is a frontal attack on the so-called US business model (market fundamentalism).
John Kay explains brilliantly that markets are embedded in a social, political and cultural context and that they cannot function outside that context.

US business model
In this model, markets should be left free. Self-regarding, unrestrained, pure greed individualism should be considered as the principal determinant of economic behavior. State intervention should be limited to the protection of property-rights and the enforcement of contracts. Income taxes should only cover these functions (low taxation).

Critique
It is a model without any ethics or any mores. Pure greed leads to chaos. Unchallenged private property-rights lead to monopolies. Free markets are rigged by imperfect information. Self-interested individuals mostly fail to co-operate with each-other. Innovation and knowledge are generated outside markets.
Countries who adopted this model are among the poorest on our planet.

Why are countries rich and other poor?
The main reason is to be found in the internal economic organization of the countries themselves. Countries need `institutions' of agriculture, of employment (division of labour) and of limited liability (corporations). These institutions can exploit competitive and comparative advantages (specializations), facilitate trade and exchange gains and promote innovation. The differences in economic institutions determine the availability of resources, education, capital and skills in each country.

Why central planning fails?
The reasons for its failure are bad coordination, no response to a changing environment, little feedback from the working place and nearly no accountability. A planning bureaucracy stifles innovation.

Market organization
Convexity (the property that a collection of items also contains an average of those items) can generate a spontaneous order in an economic system, a perfectly competitive co-ordinated and efficient equilibrium between supply and demand, conducted by self-regarding agents.

Markets and individuals do not function perfectly
Markets don't function perfectly because of imperfect information and technical co-ordination problems. Information is mostly asymmetric because only the seller knows what he sells. Exchanges between individuals can be rigged.
For individuals, there is a conflict between social (happiness) and economic values. More, people adapt to their honest or corrupt environment.
In developed countries, people are members of teams which are organized in institutions in order to pool risks (social security) and knowledge (education).

What role for government?
We need a representative democracy, because a participative one is too expensive. The State has to be managed by legitimate authorities which use pluralist and disciplined processes.
As John Rawls explains in his book `A Theory of Justice, redistribution is necessary and provides a just and efficient outcome.
Corporations have no authority whatsoever in the democratic process.

The embedded market
Many services cannot be provided in competitive markets and are a task for the government: public goods, police, defense, the framework of rules for the market itself and for natural monopolies.
We need also social institutions, because markets fail to provide effective protection against critical risks: unemployment, medical aid, relationship breakdowns.

This easily accessible book is a must read for all economists and for all those who want to understand the world we live in.

N.B. As stated in G.G. Martial's book, `Secrets of the Street', G. Soros had a mole in the Bank of England, who apparently informed him of the decision that the value of the pound would not be defended anymore. Nobody talks about the second party (the buyer of the pounds) involved in this massive, but apparently rigged, transaction. Was it the National Bank of Malaysia?

A good review of economic prosperity in different countries, with interesting examples of things that work/ do not work

6 juillet 2013 - Publié sur Amazon.com

Good summary of what the UK earns and spends
One factor that the book does not look at extensively is the difference that good management (of a country) makes. There are, however, some facts provided when looking at the natural resources per head and the economic development of Argentina, New Zealand and Brunei
