the economic laws / the markets produce their own crises / stumble from crisis to crisis without being restricted by (government) laws which might prevent them.

Google: "freies Spiel des Marktes"
Google: "the play of the free market"
Standard employment relationships enjoy subsidies while non-standard employment relationships are left to the play of the free market in times of crisis.

If It's what I think this is from it's about "Kurzarbeitergeld" paid to companies during an economic crisis.  They types of employment more frequently taken up by women apparently don't enjoy the same amount of support.

I think "Kurzarbeitergeld" is just one incidence (or symptom) of what I tried to describe above. The "freies Krisenspiel des Marktes" is an ironic allusion to the (capitalistic) mantra "freies Spiel des Marktes"

about that "Kurzarbeitergeld."  <If it is the one I'm thinking of.  I would post the link, but some of our posters say they've gotten into trouble when their source material is mentioned here.>

Just curious: are the atypical jobs subsidized jobs?

Not atypical jobs but rather atypical/ non-standard employment (i.e. not the - 40 hour week, give adequate notice to quit, pay regular salaries/wages, work at the office/company - kind)  such as part-time, work from home, temp-work and contract work.

having read some of the context, I'd say it means something like giving the markets free reign in times of economic crisis

not directly related, but explaining the theory behind subsidies is http://www.egovmonitor.com/node/33784

Ah, the atypical jobs are union-free jobs (without minimum-wages and dismissal protection) but the author does not want to tell us.

It seems my conjecture was correct. And I think simply the free play of the market is not enough since the author is a strong critic of that. She is strongly criticising the fact that while regular work is supported those in other kinds of work -- often predominantly women -- are thrown to the wolves. Re. ufriend: it is giving the markets free rein (to be pedantic!) that generates economic crisis in the first place -- that would certainly be the position of this author. But your remark is a just one in the sense that I think that causation is somewhat confused in this phrase.

thanks for pointing out the spelling mistake!
I read a bit of the article and can see your point. The only other interpretation I can think of is that she uses the "spiel" in another sense - the markets play around/mess around in times of crises; not an immediate interpretation but possible.
