Synopsis
What exactly is capitalism, and why do its advocates support it? What are the central objections raised to capitalism? Are there moral reasons to support capitalism, or to oppose it? This book contains excerpts from seminal historical and contemporary readings exploring the nature, purpose, and effects of capitalism, from the most important expositors themselves. In this time of globalisation and economic turbulence, its questions could not be more timely, or important. If you want to develop an informed judgment about whether markets and morality mix, start here., What exactly is capitalism, and why do its advocates support it? What are the main objections to capitalism that have been raised by its critics? Are there moral reasons to support capitalism, or to oppose it? In this time of globalization and economic turbulence, these questions could not be more timely or more important. This book provides some answers through seminal readings on the nature, purpose, and effects of capitalism as understood by its most influential expositors, both historical and contemporary. In addition to Adam Smith himself, the selections gathered here include essays and excerpts by thinkers ranging from Locke and Rousseau to Hayek and Cass Sunstein. All are chosen and arranged to highlight the ways that capitalism bears on a set of fundamental human concerns: liberty, equality, social order, virtue and motivation. If you want to develop an informed judgment about whether markets and morality mix, this anthology is a good place to begin.
