“Market Failures” is a category for books that examine when and why unregulated markets misallocate resources or produce unfair outcomes, and what can be done about it. Titles in this genre cover core concepts such as externalities (like pollution), public goods, market power and monopolies, information asymmetries, coordination problems, and systemic risk. They span economic theory, mechanism and market design, and empirical case studies across sectors like finance, healthcare, housing, technology platforms, and the environment, evaluating remedies including antitrust, regulation, taxes and subsidies, social insurance, and nudges. Many works draw on behavioral economics and institutional analysis, weighing efficiency, innovation, and equity trade-offs and exploring both historical episodes and current policy debates. This category serves students, policymakers, business leaders, and curious readers seeking to understand when markets stumble—and how society can respond.
