520 _aFor three centuries the capitalist system has shaped western society, suffering regular implosions in which nations and individuals are liable to lose everything. Yet it continues dominate the world. David Harvey draws on his unrivalled knowledge of the subject, Harvey lays bare the follies of the international financial system, looking at the nature of capitalism to ask how and why this is the case and whether it must always be on. He shows that periodic episodes of meltdown are not only inevitable in the capitalist system, but also essential to its survival. The essence of capitalism is self-interestand to talk of imposing regulation and morality, he argues, is irrational. This timely and important book breaks new ground by examining the case for a sustainable social order that really could be just, responsible and humane.
