      abstract = {Innovatively combining existentialist philosophy with  cutting edge post-structuralist and psychoanalytic  perspectives, this book boldly reconsiders market freedom.  Bloom argues that present day capitalism has robbed us of  our individual and collective ability to imagine and  implement alternative and more progressive economic and  social systems; it has deprived us of our radical freedom  to choose how we live and what we can become.Since the  Great Recession, capitalism has been increasinglyblamed for  rising inequality and feelings of mass social and political  alienation.In place of a deeper liberty, the free market  offers subjects the opportunity to continually reinvest  their personal and shared hopes within its dogmatic  ideology and policies. This embrace helps to temporarily  alleviate growing feelings of anxiety and insecurity at the  expense of our fundamental human agency.What has become  abundantly clear is that the free market is anything but  free.Here, Bloom exposes our present day bad faith in the  free market and how we can break free from it.},
