  • Can a pure market economy exist today? [Elektronski vir]
    Močnik, Dijana ; Mulej, Matjaž
    Recent years have seen a renewed interest in comparing different types of market economies, or capitalist systems. A free market, laissez-faire program has increasingly dominated perceptions as to ... what is the correct, i.e. requisitely holistic, economic theory and policy in the innovative society and economy. We discuss an important role of the state in both types of market economies - coordinated as well as liberal ones - and ideological construct of laissez-faire that has been quite successful in convincing that a supposed free market is the best guarantee of free enterprise and individual liberty. As an ideological construct, laissez-faire has had an enormous impact on ruling people's concept of proper economic and social organization and policy. Current endeavors of governments who have great difficulties in guaranteeing full employment and stable domestic markets resulted in the reduced work security and reliability of wages, reductions in pensions and social security payments. As a result, we need alternative economic theory open to stances critical of extreme free market capitalist positions and more attuned to the presence of alternative (and potentially competing) perspectives that more closely mirrors the increasing rates of unemployment, homelessness, poverty, illiteracy, disease and pollution in the world.
