Description
Explore 'The Future of Capitalism,' a groundbreaking work by renowned economist Paul Collier, published in 2019 by Penguin UK. This B-format paperback, spanning 256 pages, delves into the fractures within contemporary Western society—urbanization versus provincial life, elite expertise versus educational divides, and the wealthy versus developing nations. As these societal divides widen, Collier argues for a revival of ethical obligations and solutions that can bridge these gaps. This book offers a timely critique of capitalism, moving beyond mere theory to propose practical, innovative approaches that promise to heal economic, social, and cultural rifts. With insights drawn from Collier's own life experiences—from his roots in working-class Sheffield to his tenure in competitive Oxford, and his work between Britain and Africa—he presents a compelling argument for reform. Unlike many critiques that detail the failures of capitalism, 'The Future of Capitalism' shines a light on realistic pathways to restore its integrity and purpose. Perfect for anyone interested in economic theory, social justice, and the future of society, this book equips readers with the tools to understand and transform their surroundings, all while engaging with captivating narratives from some of the world’s leading social scientists. If you're seeking a fresh perspective on the challenges our society faces and a pragmatic vision for capitalism's future, this book is a must-read.
