Abstract

This chapter analyses the normative appeal of a conception of the just price based on the value of market efficiency (the ‘Efficiency Conception’). The chapter suggests that the Efficiency Conception is a normatively attractive conception of the just price only under conditions of wealth equality and discusses two common objections to the feasibility of a price system committed to wealth equality.
