Verlagstext:
Over the past two centuries or so, capitalism has undergone continual change - economic cycles that lurch from boom to bust - and has always emerged transformed and strengthened. Surveying this turbulent history, Paul Mason wonders whether today we are on the brink of a change so big, so profound, that this time capitalism itself, the immensely complex system by which entire societies function, has reached its limits and is changing into something wholly new.
At the heart of this change is information technology: a revolution that, as Mason shows, has the potential to reshape utterly our familiar notions of work, production and value; and to destroy an economy based on markets and private ownership - in fact, he contends, it is already doing so.
In this groundbreaking, Sunday Times top ten book, Mason shows how, from the ashes of the recent financial crisis, we have the chance to create a more socially just and sustainable global economy.
Stimmen zum Buch:
"Ein äußerst interessantes, anregendes Werk, selbst wenn man die Argumentation und die Schlussfolgerungen des Autors nicht teilt. Es wird zweifellos viele Diskussionen anstoßen. Darin scheinen sich auch namhafte Zeitgenossen einig zu sein, wie die ersten, teils überschwänglichen Rezensionen zeigen. Sympathisch findet der Rezensent die unorthodoxe Herangehensweise und den Verzicht auf Besserwisserei gegenüber anderen Autoren und Theorien."
