This method consists of introducing non-market institutions as solutions to market failures. The explicit or implicit assumption is that in the beginning there were markets'. In this paper, we criticise this conception inherited from neoclassical economics by focusing on Williamson's theory. First, we discuss Williamson's speculative method, which idealises the market and presents it as natural and universal. We then suggest that Williamson's categories, his method and conception are themselves products of bourgeois ideology. In this sense, we conclude, Williamson himself is ultimately an institution of capitalism'.
