Description
Global Capitalism: A Sociological Perspective by Miguel A. Centeno and Joseph N. Cohen is a thought-provoking exploration of the global financial crisis's impact on economic ideologies and policies. The authors revisit the concept of Global Capitalism, examining its core ideas, strengths, and weaknesses to provide insights into the future of the 21st-century economy. By deconstructing the institution of capitalism, Centeno and Cohen identify three key challenges that any new economic system must address: inequality, governance, and environmental sustainability. This accessible book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between trade, finance, marketing, and societal development. A valuable resource for students of economic sociology and anyone interested in shaping the future of our economy, Global Capitalism: A Sociological Perspective provides a unique perspective on the evolution of capitalism and its potential trajectory.
