Andrew Glyn, "Capitalism Unleashed: Finance, Globalization, and Welfare"
Free enterprise is off the leash and chasing new opportunities for profit making across the globe. After a turbulent century of unprecedented social and technological change, Capitalism has emerged as the dominant ideology and model for economic growth in the richest, most developed countries.But only thirty years ago economic growth was faltering, inflation rising and the Left were arguing for greater state intervention in industry.How did this remarkable transformation happen? And what price have wepaid in the process? This accessible and persuasive book challenges thenotion of our capitalist destiny. It provides a clear and concise history ofthe problems facing the economies of Europe, Japan and the US during thelatter half of the twentieth century and questions whether capitalism hasreally brought the levels of economic growth and prosperity that were hopedfor.
Andrew Glyn then looks at the impact the rapidly developing economies of China and the South are likely to have on the older economies of the North. As the race is on to maintain growth and protect competitive advantage, Glyn asks: is the 'race-to-the bottom' inevitable as the anti-globalisers predict, with welfare states being dismantled to meet competitive demands? Or is there an alternative model which sees a strong commitment to welfare provision as essential to economic growth? Can we afford not to tackle inequality at home as well as abroad?
