Penguin presents the audiobook model of The Future of Capitalism by Paul Collier, read by Peter Noble.

Deep new rifts are tearing apart the fabric of Britain and other Traditional western societies: thriving metropolitan areas versus the provinces, the very skilled elite versus the less knowledgeable, wealthy versus developing countries. As these divides deepen, we’ve lost the feeling of ethical responsibility to others that was crucial to the rise of post-war social democracy. So far these rifts have already been answered just about The continuing future of Capitalism: Facing the brand new Anxieties with the revivalist ideologies of populism and socialism, leading to the seismic upheavals of Trump, Brexit as well as the return from the considerably ideal in Germany. We have noticed many critiques of capitalism but no one has organized a realistic method to repair it, until now.

In a separate and polemical book, celebrated economist Paul Collier outlines brilliantly original and moral means of healing these rifts – financial, public and cultural – with the awesome head of pragmatism, as opposed to the fervour of ideological revivalism. He reveals how he provides personally lived across these three divides, moving from working-class Sheffield to hyper-competitive Oxford, and working between Britain and Africa, and acknowledges a number of the failings of his profession.

Drawing by himself solutions as well as tips from a number of the world’s most recognized social scientists, he shows us how to save capitalism from itself – and free of charge ourselves from the intellectual baggage of the 20th century.

‘In this daring work of intellectual trespass, Paul Collier, a distinguished economist, ventures onto the terrain of ethics to describe what’s gone incorrect with capitalism, and how exactly to fix it. To heal the divide between metropolitan elites as well as the left-behind, he argues, we have to rediscover an ethic of belonging, patriotism, and reciprocity. Offering inventive answers to our current impasse, Collier shows how economics at its greatest is usually inseparable from moral and political idea’ Michael Sandel, author of What Cash Can’t Purchase and Justice

‘The Upcoming of Capitalism is the most revolutionary work of public science since Keynes. Let’s wish it will also be one of the most important. These times are in desperate need of Paul Collier’s insights.’ George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2001

‘For thirty years, the centre remaining of politics has been searching for a narrative which makes sense of the market economy. This book provides it’ John Kay, Fellow of St John’s College, Oxford and the writer of Obliquity and Other People’s Money
