  • More about Capitalism


Capitalism is the most enduring economic system of our times, but it is still not widely understood. This book explores the central, unchanging features of capitalism, how it varies from place to place and over time, and whether it improves our lives. It also includes updates to all chapters with global material and a new chapter on the future of capitalism.

This book delves into the intricate workings of the world-shaping system of capitalism, shedding light on its historical evolution, contemporary developments, and the profound impact it has on societies worldwide. It explores the writings of renowned thinkers who have shaped our understanding of capitalism, offering insights into its core principles, variations, and the ongoing debates surrounding its merits and shortcomings.

Capitalism, as the dominant economic system of our era, has undergone significant transformations since the collapse of the Soviet bloc. However, its profound influence remains largely misunderstood. In this comprehensive volume, Paul Bowles delves into the core questions surrounding the history, nature, and future of capitalism.

What are the enduring characteristics of capitalism? How does it manifest differently across regions and over time? Does capitalism truly enhance our lives, or is it an unjust and unstable system? What about the global landscape of capitalism today? Will it lead to destruction or liberation?

This third edition of a classic text has been updated to include a fresh chapter on the future of capitalism, exploring the clashes between different forms of capitalism, such as neoliberal and state capitalism. It also examines whether we are witnessing the end of capitalism and, if so, what the post-capitalist era might entail.

Through meticulous research and thoughtful analysis, this book provides a comprehensive exploration of capitalism's past, present, and potential future. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and individuals seeking to gain a deeper understanding of this influential economic system and its profound implications for our world.
