The crisis and reform period includes the major economi…

Who is a child’s legal mother? Must a child have exactly one mother, can it have two or three, or can it have two fathers, but no mother? Or has the concept of motherhood become obsolete and should we just talk of parenthood in a gender neutral way?

Markets are the ambivalent gods of our societies. Powerful and fickle, they become subject to our collective hopes and fears. Some believe that they will deliver us from evil by reconciling us with our rivals and fostering in-novation. To others, they will forever corrupt nature, spread inequality, and alienate us from our communities. True to this ambiguity, markets var-iously appear…
