Capitalism for Realists

Virtues and Vices of the Modern Economy

• Broschiertes Buch

Drawing on data from across disciplines, this book presents a fresh overview of the workings of the modern economy, with particular emphasis on those aspects of capitalism that have so far eluded a balanced and synthetic theoretical treatment: inequality, exploitation, neoliberalism, industrial policy, crony capitalism and capitalist peace.
