An diesem Hörbuch werden sich Kapitalismuskritiker die Zähne ausbeißen. Zitelmann prüft die zehn häufigsten Einwände gegen den Kapitalismus: Kapitalismus führe zu Hunger und Armut, zu steigender Ungleichheit, zu überflüssigem Konsum, zu Umweltzerstörung und Klimawandel. Im Kapitalismus zähle nur der Profit zulasten der Menschlichkeit, im Kapitalismus dominierten Monopole, und die Demokratie werde ausgehöhlt.

What exactly is capitalism? How has the meaning of capitalism changed over time? And what's at stake in our understanding or misunderstanding of it? In Capitalism, Michael Sonenscher examines the history behind the concept and pieces together the range of subjects bound up with the word. Sonenscher shows that many of our received ideas fail to pick up the work that the idea of capitalism is doing for us, without us even realizing it.

Politics has never been more unpredictable. Radical populists and insurgents have turned politics-as-usual on its head. "Rebel" explores how we got here, where we are heading and what we can do about it. Douglas Carswell argues that these insurgencies are a reaction against the emergence of a political and economic oligarchy that has subverted our democracy and stifled our market system. "Politics," he writes, "is a cartel. Like the economy, it is rigged in the interests of a few."

Thomas Piketty über soziale Ungleichtheit und globale Gerechtigkeit. "Das ist ja interessant, was Sie schreiben, aber können Sie es vielleicht auch kürzer sagen?" Diese Frage ist Thomas Piketty, der mit seinem umfangreichen Bestseller "Das Kapital im 21. Jahrhundert" eine internationale Debatte über die Ursachen sozialer Ungleichheit in Gang gebracht hat, oft gestellt worden. Piketty hat diese Bitten ernst genommen und das Ergebnis ist eine Weltgeschichte der sozialen Konflikte und Konstellationen und eine Lektion in globaler Gerechtigkeit.

Demokratie und Wohlstand, ein längeres Leben, mehr Gleichberechtigung und Bildung: Der Kapitalismus hat viel Positives bewirkt. Zugleich ruiniert er jedoch Klima und Umwelt, sodass die Menschheit nun existenziell gefährdet ist. "Grünes Wachstum" soll die Rettung sein, aber Wirtschaftsexpertin und Bestsellerautorin Ulrike Herrmann hält dagegen: Verständlich und messerscharf erklärt sie in ihrem neuen Hörbuch, warum wir stattdessen "grünes Schrumpfen" brauchen. Die Klimakrise verschärft sich täglich, aber konkret ändert sich fast nichts.

While America is at a crossroads regarding its economic future, many of us don’t fully understand how we got here. In this powerful and accessible book, Thom Hartmann demystifies neoliberalism and outlines the impact that it has had on America, looking at different sectors, including healthcare, unemployment, and education. Hartmann highlights how America can go one of two ways: continue going down the road to neoliberal oligarchy, as supported by the GOP, or return to FDR’s Keynesian economics, raise taxes on the rich, reverse free trade, and create a more pluralistic society.

The story of modern management generally looks to the factories of England and New England for its genesis. But after scouring through old accounting books, Caitlin Rosenthal discovered that Southern planter-capitalists practiced an early form of scientific management. They took meticulous notes, carefully recording daily profits and productivity, and subjected their slaves to experiments and incentive strategies comprised of rewards and brutal punishment. 

This is volume two—what Henry George called "the Solution to the Problem". This landmark treatise by the great economist Henry George was first published in 1879. George's work became the seminal analysis of the political economy which inspired most, if not all, the prominent thinkers of the Progressive Movement and many others of great influence: Upton Sinclair, John Dewey, George Bernard Shaw, Friedrich Hayek, H. G. Wells, Clarence Darrow, and Leo Tolstoy, to name but a few. His analyses and proposals are referred to as "Georgism".

Capitalism has blessed the world with wealth and technological miracles. It has also cursed it with urban slums, powerless workers, and the vicious boom-and-bust economy. If only there were some way to fix the problems of capitalism and keep all its benefits. In 1897, Henry George published his solution to this puzzle, Progress and Poverty. He suggested that, unlike all other taxes, a tax on land doesn't discourage entrepreneurship. A single tax on land can raise the revenues we need to help the poor without destroying the incentive to create wealth.

Imperier reser sig, går ner, och faller. Historien har bevittnat denna cykel med romarna, ottomanerna, och britterna. De har alla störtats, och om vi inte är försiktiga kommer USA att bli näst.

Gli imperi sorgono, declinano e cadono. La storia ha testimoniato questo ciclo con i romani, gli ottomani e gli inglesi. Sono tutti crollati e, se non stiamo attenti, gli Stati Uniti saranno i prossimi. Molte delle imprese di oggi sono un branco di rane dell'ingegneria finanziaria estrema, dipendenti dal debito, che galleggiano nell'olio di serpente tiepido. Sfortunatamente, molte troveranno la loro fine nelle grinfie degli avvoltoi della proprietà intellettuale.

"In capitalist society work is the cause of all intellectual degeneracy, of all organic deformity." This essay raises interesting questions: is work really a virtue? Isn't work the source of many social imbalances? These are all questions that lend themselves to an exciting and topical debate on the role of work in our society.

Empires rise, decline, and fall. History has witnessed this cycle with the Romans, the Ottomans, and the British. They have all toppled, and if we are not careful, the US will be the next. Many of today’s enterprises are a gaggle of debt-addicted extreme financial engineering frogs floundering in tepid snake oil. Unfortunately, many will find their demise in the clutches of IP vultures. If we don't play our trump cards right, the next voracious empire—the Middle Kingdom of China—will consume us.

Economists regularly promote Capitalism as the greatest system ever to grace the planet. With the same breath, they implore us to leave the job of understanding the magical powers of the market to the "experts." Despite the efforts of these mainstream commentators to convince us otherwise, many of us have begun to question why this system has produced such vast inequality and wanton disregard for its own environmental destruction. This book offers answers to exactly these questions on their own terms: in the form of a radical economic theory.

"La difesa è molto più importante della ricchezza". Adam Smith segna così i confini dell'economia politica, nel momento della sua nascita. Anche oggi il mercato ha il suo unico limite nella sicurezza nazionale, dominio arcano dei grandi contendenti dell'arena globale, gli Stati Uniti e la Cina. Le due potenze fondono l'ambito economico e quello politico, attraverso le decisioni del Partito comunista cinese e degli apparati di difesa e sicurezza nazionale degli Stati Uniti.
