This riveting account of two centuries of failed forecasts of doom reveals the key to capitalism's durability.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProphecies about the end of capitalism are as old as capitalism itself. None have come true. Yet, whether out of hope or fear, we keep looking for harbingers of doom. In \u003cem\u003eForetelling the End of Capitalism\u003c\/em\u003e, Francesco Boldizzoni gets to the root of the human need to imagine a different and better world and offers a compelling solution to the puzzle of why capitalism has been able to survive so many shocks and setbacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCapitalism entered the twenty-first century triumphant, its communist rival consigned to the past. But the Great Recession and worsening inequality have undermined faith in its stability and revived questions about its long-term prospects. Is capitalism on its way out? If so, what might replace it? And if it does endure, how will it cope with future social and environmental crises and the inevitable costs of creative destruction?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoldizzoni shows that these and other questions have stood at the heart of much analysis and speculation from the early socialists and Karl Marx to the Occupy Movement. Capitalism has survived predictions of its demise not, as many think, because of its economic efficiency or any intrinsic virtues of markets but because it is ingrained in the hierarchical and individualistic structure of modern Western societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eForetelling the End of Capitalism\u003c\/em\u003e takes us on a fascinating journey through two centuries of unfulfilled prophecies. An intellectual tour de force and a plea for political action, it will change our understanding of the economic system that determines the fabric of our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000623055084,"sku":"9780674919327","price":75.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7695153482428.jpg?v=1763290373"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/francesco-boldizzoni.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
