Books like Capitalism by James Fulcher

Name: Capitalism
Rating: 3 (3 reviews)
Author: James Fulcher

The word ‘capitalism’ is heard and used frequently, but what is it about, and what does it mean? This very short introduction traces capitalism’s history and development through detailed case studies, including the 17th‑century Dutch tulipmania, the Great Depression of the 1930s, and the global financial crisis that began in 2007‑8. It compares different national expressions of capitalism in Britain, Japan, Sweden, and the United States, and questions whether the system has transcended the nation‑state to become truly global. The book also considers possible alternatives, discussing socialism, communal and cooperative experiments, and environmentalist proposals.
