## Description

One of four titles in Thames & Hudson’s innovative new ‘Big Idea’ series, this incisive discussion of capitalism breaks down the key concepts and theories at the heart of this contentious topic. Since the near-meltdown of the world economy in 2008, capitalism has been in crisis. Is it time to call time on a system that continues to destabilize the world economy? Have the deregulation and free-trade policies of the last forty neoliberal years made capitalism toxic? This engaging book presents the benefits and disadvantages of capitalism in all its forms and asks if there is a viable alternative.
