Is Capitalism Still Progressive?

<p>The economic crisis of 2007/2008 has prompted much debate as to what caused it and what remedies may be implemented in order to regain a healthy economy. This book addresses these issues through the lens of capitalism with a focus on labour economics, arguing that capitalism, and the employment of young people and migrants, may be a suitable antidote to the ongoing political crises in Europe that are taking place as a result of the financial crisis.</p><p>Using economic history and the history of economic thought to inform debate, <i>Is Capitalism Still Progressive?: A Historical Approach </i>&nbsp;will be of interest to policy makers (especially in emerging countries), students and researchers interested in exploring the pros and cons, and persistence, of the capitalist system.</p><p></p>
