Jürgen Habermas on Markets - Dictionary of Arguments
IV 226 Markets/Habermas: the market ensures a norm-free regulation of cooperation relationships. It belongs to the systemic mechanisms that stabilize unintended contexts of action via the functional networking of action sequences, while the mechanism of communication coordinates the action orientations of the participants. >Communication Media/Habermas, >Money/Habermas, >Control Media/Habermas. Habermas thesis: this is the reason for proposing a distinction between social and system integration. The one starts with the orientations for action through which the other passes. In one case the action system is integrated by a normatively secured or communicatively achieved consensus, in the other case by the non-normative control of subjectively uncoordinated individual decisions. >Actions/Habermas, >Action Systems/Habermas, >Action theory/Habermas, >Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas, >Communication/Habermas, >Communicative practice/Habermas, >Communicative rationality/Habermas. IV 247 Within the framework of state-organised societies, goods markets are created which are controlled via symbolically generalised exchange relationships, i.e. via the money medium. But this medium only creates a structure-forming effect for the social system as a whole with the separation of the economy from the state order. The result is a subsystem differentiated by the money medium, which in turn forces the state to reorganize. >Society. In the interrelated subsystems of the market economy and modern administration, the mechanism of the control medium, which Parsons gave the name of the symbolically generalized communication medium, finds its appropriate social structure. >T. Parsons, >Communication media/T. Parsons._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
