Capitalism With Morality

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: A broad and lucid study of the merits of different economic systems, this work combines economic criteria of success with a philosophically sophisticated analysis of ethical foundations and moral justification. Arguing that despite the fall of socialism,the deep feelings of moral discontent that many have with capitalism are as strong as ever, the author analyzes unadulterated capitalism and centrally-planned socialism. He considers economic systems from a moral as well as economic standpoint, considering such criteria as freedom, justice, and equal opportunity, as well as standards of productivity, growth, and employment levels.

Tibor Machan
Capitalism and Individualism

2000 y.
Publisher: Cybereditions
Description: Arguments to support free-market capitalism have usually come from economists and have stressed the efficiency of the economic system as basic to encouraging the production of wealth. Such arguments assume the essential value of a productive economy, while minimizing the importance of undesirable side-effects, such as wealth inequality and occasional `market failures.` In Capitalism and Individualism, Tibor Machan argues that free-market capitalism and its individualist - though by no means `atomist` - underpinnings are morally superior to the alternative live options for organizing human community life. He shows that once the neo-classical and Austrian defenses of capitalism are bolstered with salient moral arguments, the capitalist system can be demonstrated to be more coherent and just than its critics have allowed. Capitalism and Individualism will be of interest to anyone who wants to examine how capitalism can indeed be not only productive and efficient, but… [detailed...]

Capitalism and Justice: Envisioning Social and Economic Justice

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The capitalist economic system now dominates the world. How fully can it take justice into account? John Isbister takes a practical approach to the most important questions of economic and social justice such as: how big a spread of incomes from rich to poor is consistent with social justice? Should inheritances be abolished? What sort of commitment should a rich country like the USA make to foreign aid? Isbister challenges us to think creatively about the meaning of justice and how it works towards social and economic fairness within the boundaries of capitalism. Students of political economy, ethics, public policy and current affairs as well as motivated citizens who believe there is a need to create a fairer world, will find this book a radical and compelling call to action.

Jack Goody
Capitalism and Modernity: The Great Debate

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This important new book investigates how the West attained its current position of economic and social advantage. In an incisive historical analysis, Jack Goody examines when and why Europe (and Anglo-America) started to outstrip all other continents in socio-economic growth.Drawing on non-Western examples of economic and technical progress, Goody challenges assumptions about long-term European supremacy of a `cultural` kind, as was a feature of many theories current in social science. He argues that the divergence came with the Industrial Revolution and that the earlier bourgeois revolution of the sixteenth century was but one among many Eurasia-wide expressions of developing mercantile and manufacturing activity.This original book casts new light on the history of capitalism, industrialization and modernity, and will be essential reading for all those interested in the great debate about the economic rise of the West.

Capitalism and Social Progress: The Future of Society in a Global Economy (Reaching the unreached)

Publisher: —
Description: Why, when America and Britain are wealthier than ever, do millions of children live in poverty, neighborhoods want for basic amenities, and the middle classes fear for their families, jobs, and futures? The historical legacy of the `golden era` and the ideology of market individualism are obsessions that the New Democrats in America and the New Labour in Britain have failed to exorcize. Yet the forces of knowledge-driven capitalism provide an unprecedented opportunity to build societies more equitably based on the individual and collective intelligence of all. Capitalism and Social Progress shows how this change can be achieved. [detailed...]

Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: The views generally held about the rise of the factory system in Britain derive from highly distorted accounts of the social consequences of that system-so say the distinguished economic historians whose papers make up this book. The authors offer documentary evidence to support their conclusion that under capitalism the workers, despite long hours and other hardships of factory life, were better off financially, had more opportunities, and led a better life than had been the case before the Industrial Revolution.

Publisher: —
Description: Following the approach of R. M. Hartwell, the influential historian of the British Industrial Revolution, these essays explore the cultural contexts and institutional constraints that have shaped growth and development over the past two centuries. Capitalism in Context offers new perspectives on why economic development took place where and when it did. Thirteen chapters cover: social progress during economic development, the influence of cultural values on social and economic change, economic foundations of development--labor, capital, and technology, and organizational arrangements--property rights, government, and markets. These studies will appeal to economists, historians, and social scientists alike for their wide-ranging treatments of economic development and cultural change. The contributors are N. F. R. Crafts, Lance E. Davis, Stanley L. Engerman, David W. Galenson, Robert E. Gallman, Stephen Innes, John A. James, Eric L. Jones, Thomas W. Laqueur,… [detailed...]

Capitalism with a Comrade`s Face

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Are nations that are moving away from communism succeeding in becoming free-market democracies? In what ways do decades of totalitarian rule continue to distort the institutional shape of these societies? Which of communism`s legacies will remain as permanent features of their landscape? To answer these questions, this book analyses the turbulent transitions that have taken place in the post-communist world since 1989-91. Each chapter dissects institutional upheaval in transition-central banking, thetrade union movement, capital markets, or corporate governance. The authors stress the links between what was and what will be the social fabric of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. They expose the fragility of political and economic institutions that can easily threaten the region`s rebirth, but they also believe that many post-communist countries are successfully seizing the opportunity to become reunited with the West and the global economy.

W.D. Rubinstein
Capitalism, Culture, and Decline in Britain 1750-1990

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Capitalism, Culture and Decline in Britain argues against the familiar thesis that Britain`s alleged economic decline since 1870 resulted from deep-seated, anti-industrial factors in its culture. W. D. Rubinstein argues that Britain never had an industrial, but always a commercial/financial economy whose comparative advantage lay within that area. Rubinstein illustrates that the much maligned features of Britain`s class system, such as the public schools, were actually efficient instruments to enhance this competitive advantage. He closely examines Britain`s cultural values and elite structures to demonstrate that these were both rational and modern, arguing that Britain`s standard of living has been virtually identical to all countries whose economies have been considered more ``successful.`` [detailed...]

Bruce R. Scott
Capitalism, Democracy, and Development

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book looks at the emergence of capitalism and democracy as systems of economic and political governance and considers how these two systems may be both mutually supportive and antagonistic. In mapping out the balance between capitalism and democracy, the book includes chapters on the theory and history of these systems that challenge the assumption that their spread will bring about a convergence of incomes either among countries or within them. Inequalities of income and power emerge as a major societal issue alongside poverty, and the book develops alternative societal models based upon the degree of inequality in wealth and power. Since 1980, Anglo-American style capitalism has been a cause of increased inequality in a number of rich countries and threatens to duplicate itself in many developing countries. The book argues that the increasing integration of markets (globalization) will not solve these problems of inequality, they require political solutions. The EU attempts one… [detailed...]

John Mueller
Capitalism, Democracy, and Ralph`s Pretty Good Grocery.

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Democracy is overrated. Capitalism, on the other hand, doesn`t get enough credit. In this provocative and engaging book, John Mueller argues that these mismatches between image and reality create significant political and economic problems--inspiring instability, inefficiency, and widespread cynicism. We would be far better off, he writes, if we recognized that neither system is ideal or disastrous and accepted instead the humdrum truth that both are `pretty good.` And, to Mueller, that means good enough. He declares that what is true of Garrison Keillor`s fictional store `Ralph`s Pretty Good Grocery` is also true of democracy and capitalism: if you can`t get what you want there, `you can probably get along without it.` Mueller begins by noting that capitalism is commonly thought to celebrate greed and to require discourtesy, deceit, and callousness. However, with examples that range from car dealerships and corporate boardrooms to the shop of an eighteenth-century silk merchant,… [detailed...]

Capitalism, God, and a Good Cigar: Cuba Enters the Twenty-first Century

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When the Soviet Union dissolved, so did the easy credit, cheap oil, and subsidies it had provided to Cuba. The bottom fell out of the Cuban economy, and many expected that Castro’s revolution?the one that had inspired the left throughout Latin America and elsewhere?would soon be gone as well. More than a decade later, the revolution lives on, albeit in a modified form. Following the collapse of Soviet communism, Castro legalized the dollar, opened the island to tourism, and allowed foreign investment, small-scale private enterprise, and remittances from exiles in Miami. Capitalism, God, and a Good Cigar describes what the changes implemented since the early 1990s have meant for ordinary Cubans: for hotel workers, teachers, priests, factory workers, rap artists, writers, homemakers, and others. Based on reporting by journalists, writers, and documentary filmmakers since 2001, the thirteen essays collected here each cover a particular dimension of… [detailed...]
