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 historyEconomicsHistoryLabor EconomicsEconomic HistoryHistory of Economic Thought and MethodologyLabor economics.Economic history.EconomicsHistory.Labor Economics.Economic History.History of Economic Thought and Methodology.330.122330Perrotta Cosimoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut465580MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910411923003321Is Capitalism Still Progressive1992453UNINA
