Description: | Select Guide Rating Since its birth, industrial capitalism has been punctuated by the need to find new ways to develop institutions that make the capitalist production process socially sustainable. These transitions are examined in the contemporary climate by a collection of world renowned thinkers. -- . Over the last thirty years Western capitalism has undergone a process of radical change that has erased the world we knew during the post-war ‘Golden Age’. Processes of globalisation and financialisation, coupled with mass migration, demographic transitions and pressures on the welfare state, have brought about steep increases in inequality and a polarisation between winners and losers that challenges the very nature of citizenship. |
