McDermott is a Professor Emeritus at SUNY (it doesn't say what campus:

do you know Paul Z?) and (former?) member of the editorial board of

the _Review of Radical Political Economics_.

 

On the back cover, there are endorsements from 3, including Gary M,

who wrote:

 

"John McDermott's thought-provoking and ambitious book challenges

conventional notions of how labor market economies function and

evolve.  Drawing on Marx, Gramsci, and Schumpeter, McDermott

presents a detailed and sociologically nuanced account of the

market process -- one that is at odds with the 'spontaneous order'

hypothesis of Popper and Hayek. This book will spark much debate."

 

Where has the debate been, Gary?
