In Challenging Capitalism, an interdisciplinary group of distinguished scholars addresses some of the likely challenges of a new political-economic order that minimizes capitalism's deficiencies without impeding unduly its ability to facilitate and support wealth creation and human flourishing. An introductory chapter traces the development of capitalism as an economic system and identifies the three major eras in the modern version of capitalism. This chapter sets the stage for a baker's dozen chapters that examine important features and forms of the dominant economic system, including racial capitalism, platform capitalism, surveillance capitalism, authoritarian capitalism, and stakeholder capitalism. The authors approach capitalism and its future from different angles and from a variety of ideological perspectives, offering keen insights into the capitalist paths we have traveled, our position today, and the road or roads ahead.
The book is essential reading for anyone interested in capitalism from across the social sciences and humanities, including political economy, sociology, history, political science, public policy, and economics.
Reviews / Votes
This volume is a scientific feat. Building on an impressive range of disciplines, it combines strong theory with a comparative analytical thrust. Especially noteworthy is its deep scrutiny of the roots and developmental dynamics that underpin the variety of contemporary capitalisms. And its emphasis on nation comparisons makes this book truly unique.- Gosta Esping-Andersen, Professor of Sociology, Universitat Pompeu Fabra
Capitalism is both in crisis and causing wider political and social crises. Challenging Capitalism is a timely and important response, clarifying capitalism's past trajectories, its multiple varieties today, and the multiple paths along which it may be transformed or transcended. This welcome book will inform debate and action we desperately need.
- Craig Calhoun, University Professor of Social Sciences, Arizona State University
