, Introduction
In a market, a buyer will buy what he/she wants and a firm produces wha
demanded. You want a pizza, a restaurant will produce a pizza for you.
Buyers want satisfaction and sellers want profit. Everyone is driven by the
self-interests. Markets coordinate these self-interested choices. But do
markets do a good job? Do they allocate resources efficiently? Markets
generate inequality. You can afford a gold ring, however, a mine worker ca
not even afford a fake bronze ring. Is this fair?

Efficiency and fairness [or equity] are two dimensions of the social interes
So our central question in this chapter is: Do markets operate in the socia
interest?
