Markets Not Capitalism by Christophe Chartier

Individualist Anarchism Against Bosses, Inequality, Corporate Power, and Structural Poverty

A polemical collection arguing that markets and capitalism are not the same: the book defends a market-based, anti-capitalist vision in which voluntary exchange coexists with worker self-management, cooperatives, and decentralized mutualist institutions rather than hierarchical firms backed by state privileges. It critiques state-enabled corporate power, wage labor exploitation, limited liability, and other legal advantages that produce inequality, and proposes legal and institutional reforms to create genuinely competitive, egalitarian markets without bosses or corporate dominance.
