Synopsis :

A leading social critic recounts capitalism's finest hour and shows us how we might achieve it once again.

In the years surrounding the Second World War, a serendipitous confluence of events created a healthy balance between the market and the polity between the engine of capitalism and the egalitarian ideals of democracy. Yet, from the 1970s on, a power shift occurred in which financial regulations were rolled back, taxes were cut, inequality worsened and disheartened voters turned to far-right, faux populism.

Robert Kuttner lays out the events that led to the post-war miracle and charts its dissolution all the way to Trump, Brexit and the tenuous state of the EU. He asks whether today's poisonous alliance of reckless finance and ultra-nationalism is inevitable, and whether democracy can find a way to survive.

À propos de l'auteur: Robert Kuttner is the cofounder and coeditor of The American Prospect and is a former columnist for Businessweek, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe. He holds the Ida and Meyer Kirstein Chair at Brandeis University and lives in Boston.
