Capitalism is a difficult beast, with many different varieties: a humane, civil capitalism requires complex strategies of intervention, and Perrotta's proposals deserve our full attention." - Alessandro Roncaglia, Professor of Economics, University of Roma “La Sapienza” The economic crisis of 2007/2008 has prompted much debate as to what caused it and what remedies may be implemented in order to regain a healthy economy. This book addresses these issues through the lens of capitalism with a focus on labour economics, arguing that capitalism, and the employment of young people and migrants, may be a suitable antidote to the ongoing political crises in Europe that are taking place as a result of the economic crisis. Using economic history and the history of economic thought to inform debate, Is Capitalism Still Progressive?: A Historical Approach will be of interest to policy makers, students and researchers interested in exploring the pros and cons, and persistence, of the capitalist system.Palgrave pivot.Labor economicsEconomic historyLabor Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W37000Economic Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000History of Economic Thought/Methodologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W28000Labor economics.Economic history.Labor Economics.Economic History.History of Economic Thought/Methodology.330.122330Perrotta Cosimoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut465580MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910411923003321Is Capitalism Still Progressive1992453UNINA
