How did we get here? While contemporary economists and policymakers tend to ignore the political and social dimensions of capitalism, some of the great economists of the past - Adam Smith, Friedrich List, John Maynard Keynes, Joseph Schumpeter, Karl Polanyi and Albert Hirschman - did not make the same mistake. Leveraging their insights, sociologists John L. Campbell and John A. Hall trace the historical development of capitalism as a social, political, and economic system throughout the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. They draw comparisons across eras and around the globe to show that there is no inevitable logic of capitalism. Rather, capitalism's performance depends on the strength of nation-states, the social cohesion of capitalist societies, and the stability of the international system - three things that are in short supply today"-- Sociology from Economics Sociology from Economics Sociology from Economics -- Phoenix from the Ashes Phoenix from the Ashes Phoenix from the Ashes -- Storm Clouds Storm Clouds Storm Clouds -- Nationalism and Social Nationalism and Social Nationalism and Social Cohesion Cohesion Cohesion -- State Failure State Failure State Failure -- What Next?
