Sommario/riassunto

The global economic crisis has catalysed debates about the merits of capitalism. Political elites have argued that capitalism is not fundamentally crisis-prone and can be successfully reformed with the right set of policies, while many have argued that a wholesale change of attitude towards the status and creation of wealth is required. In Capitalism and Its Alternatives, Chris Rogers provides a critical introduction to theories of capitalism and to the forms of its crises through history, as well as reflecting on anti-capitalism and the ways that economic and social relations are shaped, reshaped and resisted. The book asks two key questions: What alternatives to capitalism exist? And by what processes and through what institutions might they be achieved? -- from back cover.
