  When David Jenkins retired as Bishop of Durham, he immersed himself in the study of economics. The result is this book that is a devastating demolition job of the free market ideology. Jenkins' argument is conducted on moral grounds but is based on impeccable research which even his critics have not been able to fault. When the book was first published (2000) it resonated with misgivings held by many mainstream economists about developments in the global economy. This is therefore an argument for a renewed democratic politics to counterbalance and control the free market and challenge the stranglehold of market fundamentalism. These issues do not go away, and now Market Whys and Human Wherefores is reissued in a revised updated edition at a more modest price to reach the widest possible audience.
