The recent economic crisis has been a reminder that capitalism can both create and destroy. It is a system that, by its very nature, stimulates predators and creators, locusts and bees. But the crisis also offers a historic opportunity to choose a radically different future for capitalism that maximizes creative and minimizes destructive forces.
Jeff Mulgan, a well-known specialist in the field of social innovation, takes a detailed look at the history of global capitalism, showing not only the ideas that inspired it, its utopias and dystopias, but also its contradictions and opportunities, as well as how new political conditions have changed capitalism in the past and how they will change it in the future. Linking the ideas of growth, efficiency and entrepreneurship to real life, he points to opportunities to improve the quality of life. Health care, education and green industries are becoming the dominant sectors of Western economies, and the fields of social innovation, initiatives and investment are rapidly becoming mainstream, all testifying to the extraordinary vitality and adaptability of capitalism.
