[lbo-talk] steve philion - Han Deqiang - "economics of competition"

[John K. Fitzpatrick]

Hello,  I wonder if this book has been read by anyone yet.
The introduction is intriguing, compelling and well-written.

Amazon + B&N do not carry it appearantly.....
An American distributer?

I only joined the this list to if possible satisfy this curiousity.
I too have been thinking of the invisible hand as myth lately,
as analog to various irrational/religious beliefs.
My current view is that markets are irredeemably harmful,
but Prof. Han seems to suggest otherwise - that there
are qualities and functions of markets that may be carefully
harnessed for positive results ??

It is the best to spin, but just don't blink your eye.
