Book
Is capitalism working? : a primer for the 21st century / Jacob Field ; general editor, Matthew Taylor.
Is Capitalism Working?' is a highly relevant question today - not least to a generation coming of age in a world still experiencing aftershocks from the near-meltdown of the world economy in 2008. Economic theory can be complex, but Jacob Field's well-structured and thought-provoking text lays out the debate in a clear, accessible and engaging manner. Infographics and timelines ensure that readers grasp the basic tenets, history and context of capitalism, without distracting from the compelling arguments. Jacob Field presents a measured conclusion that reviews the evidence on each side, allowing room for the reader to draw his or her own conclusions.

Using different sizes of type to indicate the importance of ideas, Field looks at capitalism and assesses its performance for various interests. He asks such questions as what capitalism has achieved for humanity, who benefits from the system, what the impact is if profits are not shared equitably, whether capitalism has done anything to address social and global inequalities or has broadened them, whether there are any alternatives to capitalism and how effect they are, what the environmental consequences of capitalism have been, and how the system can be adapted to deliver a more sustainable future.
