Modern-day markets do not arise spontaneously or evolve naturally. Rather they are crafted by individuals, firms, and most of all, by governments. Author Steven Vogel builds his argument upon the recognition that all markets are crafted then systematically explores the implications for analysis and policy. In modern societies, there is no such thing as a free market. Markets are institutions, and contemporary markets are all heavily regulated. The "free market revolution" that began in the 1980s did not see a deregulation of markets, but rather a re-regulation. 

More than just being budget tips for the minimalist, this book is also about the virtues of minimalism. This minimalism is influenced by frugal spending and, in turn, frugal lifestyles are influenced by minimalistic tendencies.
