They agree that "the financial crisis challenges the the orthodoxies of the past three decades [which neither, apparently, calls by their right name: neoliberalism] ... [and so] the state has to rescue the financial system..." And that's an important point - a beginning for a politics beyond the limits of allowable debate for either party (in Britain or America).
But the rescue Hutton proposes and Wolf approves is only a matter of tinkering with "the market". The book, which Wolf risibly refers to as a "manifesto for a new left-of-centre politics for the UK" is nothing of the sort. (Or, it's that sort of manifesto as it might be approved by the chief economics commentator of the Financial Times.)
More than two generations ago one of the great books of the 20th c. set out an important account of the market - which this book, even in the midst of the Great Recession, doesn't approach.
In /The Great Transformation/ (1944) Karl Polanyi charted the social and political upheavals that took place in England during the rise of the market economy. He argued that the modern market economy and the modern nation-state should be understood not as discrete elements, but as the single human invention that he called the "market society." He sees its effects as overall deleterious, and - while approving of the existence of markets within a society - excoriates the transformation of the society into a market.
Today the most our current advanced thinkers - like Hutton - seem to be able to do is to advise that we ameliorate its effects. --CGE
