About the book
Capitalism is the economic system that shapes our society and our lives, the set of principles that underlie our politics and our futures: but what does it really mean? What is money? What drives growth and what happens when it stops? What role can - or should - regulation play? Why did capitalism overcome rival systems in the past, why is it in crisis today - and what is its future? In this engaging set of 50 essays based around central concepts of economics, Jonathan Portes lays out the fundamental tenets of capitalism, the key moments of its history, the ideologies that have opposed it, and the possibilities contained within its future: a future that will impact us all.
