Financial crisis: the myth of free market ideology and current regulatory reforms
by Avgitidou Athina
International Journal of Management Concepts and Philosophy (IJMCP), Vol. 5, No. 3, 2011

Abstract: This paper attempts to show how free market ideology is articulated as a mythical discourse, demonstrating its main moments, and indicating the circumstances under which, despite its current dislocation, it continues to function as the hegemonic economic construction. The main argument put forward is that the consensus on the new system of financial supervision, which emerged in order to manage the current crisis, even though it highlights some of the shortcomings of free market ideology, does not seem to threaten its dominance.
