Have you ever considered what the middle ground between capitalism and socialism would look like? Socially Mixed Economies offers a tantalizing snapshot of this brave new world, a third way born of compromise by countries accepting that social gains can develop in opposed systems. John Weber takes the reader on an intellectual journey through the give-and-take of post Cold War history. Drawing on examples from Europe, the United States, and the developing world this provocative work suggests that today's political landscape is far from polarized between purely socialist and capitalist regimes. Rather than documenting the triumph of "pure" capitalism over "pure" socialism, by means of different country-specific examples, Weber illustrates how much of today's political fabric has been shaped by "concessions." The result is a socially mixed economy, of coexisting capitalist and socialist structures. This is essential reading for economists, political scientists, and historians seeking to understand the evolution of a new transitional society and its important, unprecedented consequences for twenty-first century world politics.

Autorenporträt
John Weber was born in a working-class neighborhood in Los Angeles in 1981. From an early age he showed his interest in cooking. In fact, for special occasions, he delighted in cooking for his parents and 3 siblings as early as the age of 14. Over the years, John, invented several recipes, testing them on his relatives and friends, who were always amazed by their incredible taste! So, in adulthood, John followed his passion and started working in the restaurant industry, becoming the chef of many restaurants in his city. His dream, however, has always been to have his own business, where he could be his own boss. Unfortunately, the cost of opening a restaurant was very high and neither John nor his family had the money for it. That's how John came to know the world of Food Trucks, a business in which it is possible to generate very interesting profits and with infinitely lower costs than opening a restaurant. Today John owns a number of food trucks, which operate throughout California and neighboring states. What drove John to become an author, as well as a successful entrepreneur, was the desire to share his journey with other people who have the same dream as he does. In his books, John, has included the very strategies he used to minimize the costs of starting a food truck business, as well as all of his secrets that led him to build a $400k/year food truck business from nothing
Rezensionen
Weber's understanding of the 'end of ideology' in the Yeltsin years is the best brief treatment of the subject that I have seen. -- Paul Buhle, Brown University
