Many of these discussions position markets as the basis for resolving (even simplifying and delegating responsibility for) otherwise complex problems in fields such as healthcare, education, security and the environment. Areas that once were the provision of the state are now imbued with devices, metrics, rankings, resources, regulations, experts and tenders oriented toward bringing into being a variety of market-based initiatives. The logics built into these initiatives of efficiency, effectiveness, better services, at lower costs \u2013 all made transparent and accountable to public beneficiaries \u2013 appear difficult to resist. However, this programme of research will seek to step back from these logics and ask fundamental questions of: what are markets and how do they work; what counts as value, for whom, decided in what ways; who and what is accountable to whom and what, through what means; what counts as effective or equitable and how is the counting accomplished?<\/p>\n<p>For more info see:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketproblems.com\/\">http:\/\/www.marketproblems.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new project at Goldsmiths being worked on by Daniel Neyland and Sveta Milyaeva: Market-Based Initiatives as Solutions to Techno-Scientific Problems <a href=\"https:\/\/www.journalofculturaleconomy.org\/charisma\/markets\/can-markets-solve-problems\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"morelink\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,15],"tags":[827,28,829,828,811,638,830],"class_list":["post-2070","markets","type-markets","status-publish","hentry","category-all","category-announcements","tag-daniel-neyland","tag-markets","tag-rankings","tag-solve-problems","tag-sveta-milyaeva","tag-technology","tag-techo-science"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.journalofculturaleconomy.org\/charisma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/markets\/2070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.journalofculturaleconomy.org\/charisma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/markets"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.journalofculturaleconomy.org\/charisma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/markets"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.journalofculturaleconomy.org\/charisma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.journalofculturaleconomy.org\/charisma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2070"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.journalofculturaleconomy.org\/charisma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/markets\/2070\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2071,"href":"https:\/\/www.journalofculturaleconomy.org\/charisma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/markets\/2070\/revisions\/2071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.journalofculturaleconomy.org\/charisma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.journalofculturaleconomy.org\/charisma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.journalofculturaleconomy.org\/charisma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
