HURWICZ characterizes this failure by observing that 'tra ditionally, economic analysis treats the economic system as one of the givens' (1973, p. 1). In this case 'system' may be understood in a narrower or in a wider sense comprising only contracts (on markets) or a larger variety of procedures for the co-ordination of economic activities as, for instance, managerial hierarchies. In view of the prominent role of price theory in mainstream economics one would guess that-the system is perceived to comprise mainly contracts as co-ordinating procedures: prices form a constituent part of contracts on markets but not of other co-ordination procedures.
