Description: Capitalism, Aloneby Branko Milanovic Synopsis: An Economist Book of the Year A Financial Times Book of the Year A Foreign Affairs Best Book of the Year A Prospect Best Book of the Year A ProMarket Book of the Year An Omidyar Network “8 Storytellers Informing How We’ve been Reimagining Capitalism” Selection “Brilliant…Poses all the important questions about our future.” —Gordon Brown “A scholar of inequality warns that while capitalism may have seen off rival economic systems, the survival of liberal democracies is anything but assured.” —The Economist We are all capitalists now. For the first time in human history, the world is dominated by one economic system. At some level capitalism has triumphed because it works: it delivers prosperity and gratifies our desire for autonomy. But this comes at a moral price, pushing us to treat material success as the ultimate goal, and offers no guarantee of stability. While Western liberal capitalism creaks under the strains of inequality and excess, some are flaunting the virtues of political capitalism, exemplified by China, which may be more efficient, but is also vulnerable to corruption and social unrest. One of the outstanding economists of his generation, Branko Milanovic mines the data to tell his ambitious and compelling story. Capitalism gets a lot wrong, he argues, but also much right—and it isn’t going away anytime soon. Our task is to improve it in the hopes that a more equitable capitalism can take hold. “Erudite, illuminating…Engaging to reBook Information:ISBN 13: 9780674299382Publisher: Belknap PressYear: 2024Format: Paperback Shipping Shipping service:We strive to provide the best possible methods of shipping for your book, so that you buy from us without worrying about shipping time, extra charges, delays or any other hassles.
