The Spectre of Capitalism. The Future of the World Economy After the Fall of Communism

London England: Vintage. Paperback. Tiny nip to edge of front cover. Inside cover page clipped. While communism has failed, capitalism has not necessarily succeeded. For many years capitalism and communism were viewed as alternatives. The Reagon/Thatcher model of capitalism has been quick to declare vistory but the author argues that the results of the Reagan and Thatcher experiemences are not a brilliant advertisement for extreme and unfettered capitalist solutions. The paradox is that while the US and institutions such as the IMF and World Bank preach Anglo-Saxon style capitalism to the rest of the world, the system they most fear is that evolved by Japan. The urgent problem facing the world now is how to manage capitalism efficiently, humanely and safely. Combining shrewd analysis of communism's failings with an honest assessment of capitalism's problems, the author's timely book inisists that liberty is inseparable from social justice. 221 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
