I suppose, as an observer, what I find most interesting is that there are nuggets here both right and left – the critique being offered develops new accounts of both the individual and the social. The consensus that appears to be forming, if I read it right, is that a) markets must serve society, not the other way round, and b) there must be wider access to markets for a greater amount of people, who must also have something to trade, as a means of spreading both wealth and prosperity.

It seems to me that this is something to be welcomed – the next few years might well prove critical.
