"Growing worldwide interest in community economic development has led to a blossoming of “how to” manuals,as well as analyses of co-operatives, development corporations, gender, financing, etc. Yet in all this discussion very little is said about the basic objective of CED: Is it designed to fill holes left by capitalism or is it intended to replace it? There is equally little on a theory of CED. This book draws on several disciplines -- particularly economics, sociology and political studies -- to assess the state of CED theory and to identify implicit issues for building that theory. It emphasizes the necessity to draw theoretical insights from each discipline, in the process howing the efficacy of interdisciplinary approaches. It concludes with a discussion of both future theoretical directions and of what existing theory has to say about achieving a transformative CED."--pub. website.

In this book of carefully selected essays, Charles Whalen presents constructive analyses of vital economic problems confronting the United States since the 1970s, giving special attention to challenges facing working families. The analyses are grounded in Whalen’s career of more than three decades, during which he has gleaned insight from institutional and post-Keynesian economics and contributed to national economic policy-making, equitable regional development, and worker engagement in business decisions. The result is a compelling case for reforming capitalism by addressing workers’ interests as an integral part of the common good, and for reconstructing economics in the direction of post-Keynesian institutionalism.

The 21st century dawned with capitalism on the ascendant across the world and communism and socialism fading out. Simultaneously, there was a realization that chronic problems of environmental degradation, persistent poverty, and inequity between those who have the means to have more and those who have not, must be addressed much more effectively. Capitalism must now transform itself to provide the solutions. Business corporations are the growth engines and beneficiaries of capitalism. Therefore, it is up to business leaders to engage civil society and co-create the new models that will enable capitalism and corporations to improve the world for everyone. Transforming Capitalism provides a collection of thought-pieces and stories to facilitate the dialogue between business managers and civil society that has become imperative. It is a field-book to assist business managers on their journey to discover their new role and develop the new management concepts they need.

First published in 1987, this book comprises a critical evaluation of Marxist, Gramscian and pluralist theories of social development; the application of these theories, chiefly to Third World countries: hence consideration of the problems of ‘specificity’, general theory and social change. This is followed by an assessment of the stages of economic development in relation to state power and politics; and the role of the ‘external’: the impact of the world market economy and the security imperative. The book is not a discussion of theory, but of theory-in-practice. Above all, it represents a continuing debate between Marxism and pluralism – on the themes of accumulation, power, legitimacy – resulting in convergence.

In this classic work of economic history and social theory, Karl Polanyi analyzes the economic and social changes brought about by the "great transformation" of the Industrial Revolution. His analysis explains not only the deficiencies of the self-regulating market, but the potentially dire social consequences of untempered market capitalism. New introductory material reveals the renewed importance of Polanyi's seminal analysis in an era of globalization and free trade.

"The Evolution of Modern Capitalism" by J. A. Hobson is a seminal work that offers a comprehensive analysis of the development of capitalism from its origins to the modern era. In this influential book, Hobson explores the economic, social, and political forces that have shaped the evolution of capitalism and its impact on societies around the world. Drawing upon a wealth of historical evidence and economic theory, Hobson traces the emergence of capitalism as a dominant economic system, beginning with its roots in the industrial revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries. He examines the role of technological innovation, trade, and investment in driving economic growth and transforming social relations. Hobson also delves into the consequences of capitalism for workers, consumers, and the environment, highlighting the inequalities and injustices that have accompanied its expansion. He critiques the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few, as well as the exploitation of labor and natural resources for profit. One of the key insights of "The Evolution of Modern Capitalism" is Hobson's emphasis on the interconnectedness of capitalism with imperialism and colonialism. He argues that the expansion of capitalist economies has often been accompanied by the colonization of foreign lands and the exploitation of indigenous peoples, leading to social upheaval and geopolitical conflict. Despite its critical stance, Hobson's work is also forward-looking, offering suggestions for reforming capitalism to make it more equitable and sustainable. He advocates for measures such as progressive taxation, social welfare programs, and labor rights to mitigate the negative effects of capitalism and promote greater social justice. "The Evolution of Modern Capitalism" remains a classic text in the field of economic history, offering valuable insights into the dynamics of capitalism and its implications for society. Hobson's rigorous analysis and impassioned advocacy continue to inform debates about the future of capitalism and the quest for a more just and humane economic system.

The recent crisis, created by finance capitalism, has brought us to the economic abyss. The excessive freedom of international markets has rapidly transformed into international panic, with states struggling to rescue and bail out a globalized financial sector. Reform is promised by our leaders, but in governments dominated by financial interests there is little hope of meaningful change. Decent Capitalism argues for a response that addresses capitalism’s systemic tendency towards crisis, a tendency which is completely absent from the mainstream debate. The authors develop a concept of a moderated capitalism that keeps its core strengths intact while reducing its inherent destructive political force in our societies. This book argues that reforming the capitalist system will have to be far more radical than the current political discourse suggests. Decent Capitalism is a concept and a slogan that will inspire political activists, trade unionists and policy makers to get behind a package of reforms that finally allows the majority to master capitalism.

"Thought provoking and fresh - this book challenges how we think about economics.” Gillian Tett, Financial Times For further information about recent publicity events and media coverage for Rethinking Capitalism please visit http://marianamazzucato.com/rethinking-capitalism/ Western capitalism is in crisis. For decades investment has been falling, living standards have stagnated or declined, and inequality has risen dramatically. Economic policy has neither reformed the financial system nor restored stable growth. Climate change meanwhile poses increasing risks to future prosperity. In this book some of the world’s leading economists propose new ways of thinking about capitalism. In clear and compelling prose, each chapter shows how today’s deep economic problems reflect the inadequacies of orthodox economic theory and the failure of policies informed by it. The chapters examine a range of contemporary economic issues, including fiscal and monetary policy, financial markets and business behaviour, inequality and privatisation, and innovation and environmental change. The authors set out alternative economic approaches which better explain how capitalism works, why it often doesn’t, and how it can be made more innovative, inclusive and sustainable. Outlining a series of far-reaching policy reforms, Rethinking Capitalism offers a powerful challenge to mainstream economic debate, and new ideas to transform it.

Most scholarship on nineteenth-century America’s transformation into a market society has focused on consumption, romanticized visions of workers, and analysis of firms and factories. Building on but moving past these studies, Capitalism Takes Command presents a history of family farming, general incorporation laws, mortgage payments, inheritance practices, office systems, and risk management—an inventory of the means by which capitalism became America’s new revolutionary tradition. This multidisciplinary collection of essays argues not only that capitalism reached far beyond the purview of the economy, but also that the revolution was not confined to the destruction of an agrarian past. As business ceaselessly revised its own practices, a new demographic of private bankers, insurance brokers, investors in securities, and start-up manufacturers, among many others, assumed center stage, displacing older elites and forms of property. Explaining how capital became an “ism” and how business became a political philosophy, Capitalism Takes Command brings the economy back into American social and cultural history.
