The solution is to rein in the market, right? \u003ci\u003eRadical Markets\u003c\/i\u003e turns this thinking on its head. With a new foreword by Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin and virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier as well as a new afterword by Eric Posner and Glen Weyl, this provocative 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOnly 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--\u003ci\u003eRadical Markets\u003c\/i\u003e shows how.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"I have always been motivated to find ways to unite the power of technology and markets with the goal of creating a more egalitarian society, and the authors of this book offer an exploration of these apparently contradictory strands.\"\u003cb\u003e--Satya Nadella, Chief Executive Officer, Microsoft\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Perhaps the most ambitious attempt to rethink democracy and markets since Milton Friedman.

Counterintuitive and fascinating, this book will be an essential part of the debate about global issues going forward.\"\u003cb\u003e--Martha C.
