Is Capitalism Still Progressive?: A Historical Approach

Autor Cosimo Perrotta
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 aug 2021
The economic crisis of 2007/2008 has prompted much debate as to what caused it and what remedies may be implemented in order to regain a healthy economy. This book addresses these issues through the lens of capitalism with a focus on labour economics, arguing that capitalism, and the employment of young people and migrants, may be a suitable antidote to the ongoing political crises in Europe that are taking place as a result of the financial crisis.
Using economic history and the history of economic thought to inform debate, Is Capitalism Still Progressive?: A Historical Approach  will be of interest to policy makers (especially in emerging countries), students and researchers interested in exploring the pros and cons, and persistence, of the capitalist system.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"In his wide-ranging analysis of the history and perspectives of capitalism, Cosimo Perrotta displays at their best the pessimism of the intellect and the optimism of the will. Capitalism is a difficult beast, with many different varieties: a humane, civil capitalism requires complex strategies of intervention, and Perrotta's proposals deserve our full attention."
