Overview

This book investigates the question of economic globalization - whether it is likely to lead to full convergence between political models and ways of life, or whether, even in a completely globalized world economy, there is likely to be scope for alternative solutions. In a fully globalized world, how will we survive capitalism?

'Clearly and gracefully written, it presents an interesting and fertile thesis about the nature of capitalism and how different societies have learnt to cope with it.' John Gray, Author of Straw Dogs (Granta, 2002)

'Clearly and gracefully written, [Surviving Capitalism] presents an interesting and fertile thesis about the nature of capitalism and how different societies have learnt to cope with it. Pursued in theoretical terms in the first part of the book, the argument is developed with a cogency and subtlety that is rarely found in books in this subject area. The historical sections display broad erudition and abound in relevant and memorable examples. Perhaps most surprisingly, given its potentially deadly subject matter, the book is also consistently enjoyable to read'. 'Surviving Capitalism presents a highly literate cost-benefit analysis of the history of capitalism...fresh, fascinating, relevant, and, yes, humane.'
