Hi Ajit, thank you very much for your questions. By 'market in itself' I mean that we can develop an objective understanding of market independently from what all sorts of ideologies say about and ascribe to it. I mean the question we have to pose is this: what is the nature of market. Based on this objective grasp we can then judge about these ideologies whether they are right or wrong. Market is an institution where humans get in touch with one another for a certain purpose: the exchange of commodities. That is to say that human relations on market are mediated by commodities - either directly or indirectly by means of money. So, the question what is the nature of market changes into the question what is the nature of commodity and money.The analysis of commodity and money must then be analysed in terms of human relation because commodities are being exchanged by human beings. These questions are profoundly posed and analysed, I think, in the first Chapter of the Capital of Marx. This is my reply to your two questions in short. Thanks again. Warm regards, Dogan.
