The Future of Capitalism: Facing the New Anxieties

Økonomi & Business

A top economist’s “engaging and well-reasoned” look at how to save capitalism from itself—and from the twin threats of populism and socialism (The Washington Post).

Winner, Handelsblatt Prize for Best Business Book

Deep rifts are tearing apart the fabric of the United States and other Western societies: thriving cities versus struggling rural counties; the highly skilled elite versus the less educated; wealthy versus developing countries. As these divides deepen, we have lost the sense of ethical obligation to others that was crucial to the rise of postwar stability and social democracy. So far these rifts have been answered only by the revivalist ideologies of populism and socialism, leading to the seismic upheavals of Trump, Brexit, and the return of the far right in Germany. We have heard many critiques of capitalism, but no one has laid out a realistic way to fix it, until now.

In a passionate and polemical book, world-renowned economist Paul Collier outlines brilliantly original and ethical ways of healing these rifts—economic, social and cultural—with the cool head of pragmatism, rather than the fervor of ideological revivalism. He reveals how he has personally lived across these three divides, moving from working-class Sheffield to hyper-competitive Oxford and working between Britain and Africa, and acknowledges some of the failings of his profession.

Drawing on his own pragmatic, realistic solutions as well as ideas from some of the world’s most distinguished social scientists, he shows us how to save capitalism from itself—and free ourselves from the intellectual baggage of the twentieth century.
