Apologetics as well as detractors of modern economy agree in that it involves an economy organized by capital and coordinated by the market with the capitalism supervisión and even State intervention. Quiestioning the indistinctive use of the term market economy, it is argued that although economics historians and other colleagues frequently refer to market without capitalism and capitalisms wiothout markets, the identification between market and capitalism is still valid in the common sense and in the economic discourses. This embroiling of the market with capitalism has serious theoretical implications, so we have, on one hand, an ortodox economic theory that highlights market positive aspects and avoid to understand the funcioning modern capitalism and, on ther other hand, a critique that propose a new socialist orden by means of what Marx called the real submerging of society in the capital. This paer attempts to understand the specific differences that separate pure market from capitalism sice these very differences are the ones that prevent from reconstructing a more adequate economy for a free and equal people society which was in the past the dream of both liberalism and socialism.

Papers by Enzo Del Bufalo
Hoy, en el ocaso de la modernidad, es más evidente que nunca la necesidad de indagar sobre el origen del individuo. La caída de las utopías colectivistas y el reordenamiento de las tensiones internacionales al margen de la disputa ideológica centrada en el marxismo leninismo, desvelan una condición de fondo que atrapa al hombre contemporáneo orgulloso de su individualidad y, al mismo tiempo, agobiado por un contexto social que lo obliga a entregar su ansia de libertad ora al Estado ora al mercado. Este dilema existencial del individuo lo muestra como lugar eminente de soberanía, pero de una soberanía sometida como bien lo señalaba Foucault en "La Microfísica del Poder".
¿Cuál es pues la historia de esta soberanía sometida que busca en el sueño de la libertad su definitiva realización? La utopía como motivo recurrente en todos los discursos que acompañan el ascenso del individuo desde su origen parece estrellarse permanentemente en la recomposición del despotismo que subsume la sociedad en el Estado o a disolverse en las relaciones cosificadoras del mercado. Un dilema que tiende a anular al individuo aplastándolo bajo el peso del cuerpo despótico o convertirlo en mera forma vacía de un mecanismo impersonal y automatizante. Una soberanía sometida al Estado y al mercado que, sin embargo, siempre se proyecta hacia el sueño de una realización absoluta; que aspira a ser soberanía efectiva como capacidad de apropiación ilimitada del universo.
