Commentary on Keane: “Eleven theses on markets and civil society”

The first thesis appears to be that “between the years 1776 and 1848”, authors treated civil society and markets as inseparable. Keane could easily have extended this period both backwards and forwards, but really it is neither here nor there. Earlier thinkers, like Locke or Rousseau, did not distinguish between civil society and the state either, they only distinguished between civil society and the state of nature, which was in turn disputed by Adam Ferguson. Social science could not have moved beyond the Middle Ages if we weren’t allowed to change the meaning of concepts.
