The Future of Capitalism - Paul Collier

By Adrian
Summary: The Future of Capitalism: "From world-renowned economist Paul Collier, a candid diagnosis of the failures of capitalism and a pragmatic and realistic vision for how we can repair it.
Deep new rifts are tearing apart the fabric of the United States and other Western societies: thriving cities versus rural counties, the highly skilled elite versus the less educated, wealthy versus developing countries. As these divides deepen, we have lost the sense of ethical obligation to others that was crucial to the rise of post-war social democracy."

But the biggest issues are being ignored, thanks to the narrow terms of reference focusing on misconduct, conservative approach of the Royal Commission, and a lack of understanding that the major problems with neoliberal capitalism are its currently-legal predations and its unsuitability to provide services that have a goal other than profit.
