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. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aEconomics$xHistory 606 $aLabor Economics 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 615 14$aLabor Economics. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology. 676 $a330.122 676 $a330 700 $aPerrotta$b Cosimo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0465580 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411923003321 996 $aIs Capitalism Still Progressive$91992453 997 $aUNINA
