At a time when free-market ideology threatened to reshape the very fabric of Australian society, Beyond the Market: Alternatives to Economic Rationalism arrived as a bold and necessary intervention, gathering some of the most incisive minds in economics, politics, and social policy to challenge the dominant orthodoxy head-on. Edited by Stuart Rees, Gordon Rodley, and Frank Stilwell, this landmark anthology presents a rigorous and wide-ranging critique of economic rationalism — the doctrine that market forces alone should govern public life — and argues compellingly that human welfare, social justice, and democratic accountability demand something far richer and more humane than the cold calculus of the marketplace. The collection draws together contributors from across disciplines, each illustrating the profound social costs of unchecked market ideology while charting credible, evidence-based alternatives rooted in equity and collective well-being. Stilwell, a distinguished political economist at the University of Sydney, and his co-editors bring both scholarly rigour and urgent moral conviction to the volume, crafting a text that sits at the intersection of academic analysis and public advocacy. Decades after its first publication, Beyond the Market remains a touchstone for anyone questioning whether the price of everything has truly eclipsed the value of anything.
