These two schools do not just participate in an identical project ofthe radical reform ofliberalism. They also represent two distinct forms of the "critique of the irrationality peculiar to excessive government," one stressing the logic ofpure competition on the economic terrain, while framing the market through a set of state interventions (theory of the "policy ofsociety"), and the other seeking to extend the rationality ofthe market to domains hitherto considered to be non-economic (theory of "human capital").
