One of the biggest myths perpetuated by the neoliberal orthodoxy is the idea that markets are rational because those participating in the market are motivated by rational self interest.

Today was a good first day at work, nothing demanding, the usual customer enquiries but with customer’s probably still on holiday with the family things may not pick up until next week when people come back from their annual leave. Today mum was down at Kmart (yes, we still have them in New Zealand) and…
