Power Dynamics in Market Actor Classification
The model of credit and labour markets categorizes participants as 'principals' (like lenders and employers), 'agents' (like successful borrowers and employees), and 'would-be agents' (those excluded from participation, like the unemployed or credit-denied). Critically evaluate the argument that this classification system primarily reflects an unequal distribution of power and opportunity. In your response, use the roles and interactions of each group to support your evaluation.
