Description

Can Democracy Survive Global Capitalism? by Robert Kuttner explores the relationship between capitalism and democracy in the modern world. The author argues that global capitalism is to blame for the decline of workers' prospects, citing stagnating wages, reduced social supports, and increased corporate profits as evidence. Kuttner contends that the resurgence of predatory capitalism, which began in the 1970s with deregulated markets, has led to a poisonous alliance between reckless finance and ultranationalism. He examines historical precedents, such as the New Deal under Roosevelt, to illustrate how democracy can harness capitalism for the greater good. This book offers a plan for bold action to reverse the decline of democracy in the West, based on political precedent and analysis of the current economic landscape.
