Pressestimmen
Capitalism Unleashed is a brilliant book that should be read by everyone with a serious interest in the economic history of the past three decades and who wants to understand better the economic issues and dilemmas that will face us in the years ahead. Tim Lankester World Economics
Kurzbeschreibung
Free enterprise is off the leash and chasing new opportunities for profit making across the globe. After a turbulent century of unprecedented social and technological change, Capitalism has emerged as the dominant ideology and model for economic growth in the richest, most developed countries. But only thirty years ago economic growth was faltering, inflation rising and the Left were arguing for greater state intervention in industry. How did this remarkable transformation happen? And what price have we paid in the process? This accessible and persuasive book challenges the notion of our capitalist destiny. It provides a clear and concise history of the problems facing the economies of Europe, Japan and the US during the latter half of the twentieth century and questions whether capitalism has really brought the levels of economic growth and prosperity that were hoped for. Andrew Glyn then looks at the impact the rapidly developing economies of China and the South are likely to have on the older economies of the North. As the race is on to maintain growth and protect competitive advantage, Glyn asks: is the 'race-to-the bottom' inevitable as the anti-globalisers predict, with welfare states being dismantled to meet competitive demands? Or is there an alternative model which sees a strong commitment to welfare provision as essential to economic growth? Can we afford not to tackle inequality at home as well as abroad?

a great take on the recent developments in capitalism
4. August 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
The late Andrew Glyn was one of the foremost British political economists. "Capitalism Unleashed" is a very well-researched take on the developments (mostly) in rich economies after WW2 - the Golden Age capitalism and, most importantly, the current neoliberal era that started emerging in the 1970s.
The book covers the turbulent situation in the 1970s (union militancy, high inflation, profit squeeze, and other threats to capital), the reaction that followed (a return to fiscal and monetary orthodoxy, privatization, and deregulation), the explosion in size of the financial sector and its repercussions (financial volatility, the drive for shareholder value), globalization (trade, financial flows), the change in the position of labor, economic growth, the welfare states, and inequality. All the chapters are informative and valuable. Glyn tries to convey relevant nuances when possible and delivers a good glimpse of all the phenomena that he sets out to discuss. However, although the author intended to make the book widely accessible, the narrative is sometimes far from memorable which makes it very likely that the average reader will walk away with only certain general ideas, without the nuances that Glyn so painstakingly documents.
That is my only complaint. Otherwise, this book deserves attention, especially if you care about recent and possible future developments in capitalism and would also like some additional left-wing perspective.

Useful study of capitalism's dire effects
15. April 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Glyn shows how privatisation doesn't work. Even the OECD admits that privatisation has brought `job loss, ... longer hours, decreased job security and union power' (Privatising state owned enterprises, 2003).
Glyn compares Sweden's social- democratic model to the Anglo-Saxon model, and show how Sweden's economy performs far better. Sweden's productivity in manufacturing grew 6 per cent a year between 1990 and 2003, while the USA's grew only 5.2 per cent and Britain's 3.2 per cent.
Sweden's ratio of R&D spending to GDP was half as big again as Britain's. The Swedish state's share of GDP was 59.8 per cent, but there was no great loss of competitiveness, no great exodus of capital or of skilled people.
