Institutionalisation of market: An evolutionary explanation of Retail Market

After the changes that took place in Soviet Union especially communism, the available knowledge and practice of exchange system is almost only capitalism. Hence, it is essential to understand the market systems that prevail in various parts of the globe. This provides opportunity for both practitioners and academicians to explore existing alternative market mechanisms which are micro operations but have potential to be translated into large institutions. This paper explores alternatives by studying both empirically and theoretically the very understanding of market and the evolution of market in a marketplace situation. It also critically examines the role of rationality theory and evolutions of market beyond these assumptions and going towards social reality.
