Instead of speaking about the market model, taken in the economic theory I suggest the alternative view on the markets and market operation based on the four main assumptions. I claim that this point of view has been proved by the results of observations, and the social policy based on it turned out to be more reliable.       AU - Nicole Biggart UR - https://ecsoc.hse.ru/en/2001-2-5/26593309.html PY - 2001 SP - 49-58 VL - 2
