After thirty years of reshaping the world to conform to the market, governments and societies are now calling for a retreat to a yet undefined new economic order.  \u003cp\u003e In order to provide a guide to what the twenty-first-century economy might look like, this book revisits the great project of Global Capitalism. What did it actually entail? How far did it go? What were its strengths and failings? By deconstructing its core ideas and examining its empirical record, can we gain clues about how to move forward after the crisis? Miguel Centeno and Joseph Cohen define capitalism as a historically-evolving and socially-constructed institution, rooted in three core economic activities trade, finance and marketing and identify the three key challenges that any new economic system will need to surmount inequality, governance, and environmental sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e This accessible and engaging book will be essential reading for students of economic sociology, and all those interested in the construction of our economic future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures, Tables, and Boxes vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Global Capitalism 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Trade 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Finance and Wealth 64\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Marketing and Consumption 94\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Governance 120\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Inequality 146\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Living with Limits 174\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion 198\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 209\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 213\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 232\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407311630616,"sku":"9780745644509","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745644509.jpg?v=1784160833","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/global-capitalism-a-sociological-perspective-hardback-9780745644509","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
