From the introduction of the editors:

Walter Otto Oetsch discusses the role of economic theories in these discursive practices. According to him, the concept of "the market", which can mainly be found in neoclassical economics (with its model of perfect equilibrium), supported both the development of an opaque and ambiguous system of shadow banks and of tax and regulatory havens. This concept is ambiguous per se, since it has different meanings which are mixed together in economic textbooks as well as in public discourses. As a result, a commonly accepted picture of the economy is established in which essential parts of economic reality (like offshore jurisdictions) vanish.
