Markt ist aber ein vieldeutiger und kaum erforschter Begriff, weder was seine Theoriegeschichte noch seine institutionelle Ausgestaltung oder die Wirkungen des Gebrauchs von „dem“ Markt (im Sinne eines agierenden Subjekts) angeht.

Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei eine Gruppe von Ökonomen um Friedrich von Hayek und Wilhelm Röpke. Getrieben von der Angst, nationale Massendemokratien könnten durch Zölle oder Kapitalverkehrskontrollen das reibungslose Funktionieren der Weltwirtschaft stören, bestand ihre Vision darin, den Markt auf der globalen Ebene zu verrechtlichen und so zu schützen.

Wie sähen Wirtschaftswissenschaften aus, die sich konsequent den Praktiken wirtschaftender Akteur*innen zuwenden? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, entwickelt Lukas Bäuerle einen konzeptuellen Rahmen aus Institutionen- und Praxistheorien, kritischem Realismus und Sozialphänomenologie, den er stringent zu einer praxeologischen Institutionenforschung zuspitzt. Am Beispiel der Subjektivierungspraktiken von Studierenden der Wirtschaftswissenschaften dekliniert er seinen Ansatz durch und deutet die empirischen Ergebnisse in Anlehnung an Friedrich Hayek, Karl Marx und Roberto Unger. Das Ergebnis: Wirtschaftswissenschaften sollten nicht nur grundlegend neu gemacht werden, sondern können es auch!
