First sentence: Although capitalism is today generally recognised as the dominant economic system in the world, many people are scarcely aware that it has only attained this position relatively recently in human history.
Description: Recent instability in financial markets has shaken the idea that the foundations of the global economy are sound. This book forsakes the criterions of both the Left and liberal economists to examine the actual behaviour of economic institutions.
