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.

Better Read then Heard
Would you listen to Memoirs Found in a Bathtub again? Why?
The particular book is better read then heard because as with many scatological type books its hard to maintain focus on the story. The book itself is classic Lem and if you like his wilily style you'll enjoy this book.
Have you listened to any of Jeff Woodman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Jeff Woodman is quite an excellent narrator and does a good job on a difficult book.
