Many blame today's economic inequality, stagnation, and political instability on the free market. The solution is to rein in the market, right? Radical Markets turns this thinking--and pretty much all conventional thinking about markets, both for and against―on its head. The book reveals bold new ways to organize markets for the good of everyone. It shows how the emancipatory force of genuinely open, free, and competitive markets can reawaken the dormant nineteenth-century spirit of liberal reform and lead to greater equality, prosperity, and cooperation.
Eric Posner and Glen Weyl demonstrate why private property is inherently monopolistic, and how we would all be better off if private ownership were converted into a public auction for public benefit. They show how the principle of one person, one vote inhibits democracy, suggesting instead an ingenious way for voters to effectively influence the issues that matter most to them. They argue that every citizen of a host country should benefit from immigration―not just migrants and their capitalist employers. They propose leveraging antitrust laws to liberate markets from the grip of institutional investors and creating a data labor movement to force digital monopolies to compensate people for their electronic data.
Only by radically expanding the scope of markets can we reduce inequality, restore robust economic growth, and resolve political conflicts. But to do that, we must replace our most sacred institutions with truly free and open competition―Radical Markets shows how.

以前就看过理查德·波斯纳在世纪初写的《知识产权法的经济结构》,老波斯纳已经注意到了知识产权垄断正在降低社会产出和福利,担忧产权已经过分扩张,但他所能做的只是在经典法律框架内微调试图找到最优解。而到儿子埃里克·波斯纳这一代,承接经济学多年发展,直接提出要用“激进市场”把桌子掀了,让我们看到了制度设计的广阔前景。一代代学者试图攻坚同一个问题,尝试为世界带来公平、正义和繁荣,本身就是一件很浪漫的事。哪怕... 以前就看过理查德·波斯纳在世纪初写的《知识产权法的经济结构》,老波斯纳已经注意到了知识产权垄断正在降低社会产出和福利,担忧产权已经过分扩张,但他所能做的只是在经典法律框架内微调试图找到最优解。而到儿子埃里克·波斯纳这一代,承接经济学多年发展,直接提出要用“激进市场”把桌子掀了,让我们看到了制度设计的广阔前景。一代代学者试图攻坚同一个问题,尝试为世界带来公平、正义和繁荣,本身就是一件很浪漫的事。哪怕他们的构想最终失败,也至少让我们知道了:既定的社会结构并非不可动摇的事实,唯一危险的社会,是放弃思考与改革的社会。 (展开)

要实现和维持作者提出的秩序,需要一个强有力的政府,这又和作者的意图矛盾,除非政府能做到聪明无私、自甘卑下。transaction cost(以information和enforcement成本为主)可以否定本书的大部分内容,而transaction cost确实像水与土一样在现实生活无处不在。感觉自己花了几小时速读了一本“永动机购买及使用指南”。
