Capitalism Peter Saunders		$20.00 Paper ISBN: 0-8166-2799-1 ISBN-13: 978-0-8166-2799-8
A compelling look at the future of capitalism in a postcommunist world. With the collapse of socialism, capitalism is now poised to become a truly global system. Three major questions arise from its success: Can capitalism revolutionize the living standards of the poor nations in the way it has done for countries in the West? Can the global ecosystem survive such a massive expansion of industrial output? And if capitalism prevails, will human beings be any happier as a result? Peter Saunders draws on the latest evidence from around the world to provide a "social audit" of contemporary capitalism. Peter Saunders is professor of sociology at the University of Sussex. 140 pages | 5 1/4 x 8 1/2 | 1995 Concepts in Social Thought Series
