James Fulcher read History at Cambridge, took a Sociology Masters at the London School of Economics, and wrote his PhD at the University of Leicester. His career was spent in the Sociology Department at the University of Leicester and, with John Scott, he produced a number of editions of Sociology, published by Oxford, which has been judged "the best of the all-encompassing texts". His main research interest has been in the history of industrial relations in Sweden and his main teaching interest in the development of Japanese society.
What is capitalism? Is capitalism the same everywhere? Is there an alternative?
The word "capitalism" is one that is heard and used frequently, but what is capitalism really all about, and what does it mean? This Very Short Introduction addresses questions such as, "what is capital?" before discussing the history and development of capitalism through several detailed case studies, ranging from the tulipomania of 17th century Holland, the Great Depression of the 1930s, and in this new edition, the impact of the global financial crisis that started in 2007-08.
James Fulcher looks at the different forms that capitalism takes in Britain, Japan, Sweden, and the United States, and explores whether capitalism has escaped the nation-state by going global. It ends by asking whether there is an alternative to capitalism, discussing socialism, communal and cooperative experiments, and the alternatives proposed by environmentalists.

评分总的来说,谈主义这一类的话题很容易因为不同的背景而进行先验地回答。从资本主义的普遍发源国英国人谈论出来一回事,马克思讲出来是一回事,我们讲出来又是一回事。越来越觉得对不了解的事物真是要从各种角度出发去学习研究才可能形成有底气的自我判断。(总不能说主观上先形...
评分我想这不是想象中的盛宴,当然也不能断定是注定失败的实验。 个体不能得到想象中的解放,不论是政治权力的束缚,还是金钱欲望的囚困。 原以为金钱的积累是人人共享的福利,仿佛实现了劳动力的最快变现,却在这个人主义的浪潮中,被推向离自由越来越远的地方,空望着繁华喧嚣的...
