From the chief economics commentator of the Financial Times, a magnificent reckoning with how and why the marriage between democracy and capitalism is coming undone, and what can be done to reverse this terrifying dynamicMartin Wolf has long been one of the wisest voices on global economic issues.

Krachtig pleidooi voor de instandhouding van het democratisch kapitalismeToen de Berlijnse Muur in 1989 viel, zegevierde het westerse democratisch kapitalisme. Democratie en kapitalisme verspreidden zich in rap tempo over de hele wereld en onder de bevolking overheerste een gevoel van triomf. Nu, meer dan een kwarteeuw later, wordt de westerse wereld geconfronteerd met een financiële crisis, heerst er een groeiende ongelijkheid en is de onvrede groot. Er gaan krachtige stemmen op...

La relación entre capitalismo y democracia se ha vuelto problemática, pero ambos se necesitan mutuamenteHace tres décadas, tras el colapso de la Unión Soviética, el capitalismo democrático occidental pareció triunfar definitivamente. Hoy, ese sistema atraviesa una crisis profunda. A izquierda y derecha proliferan las voces de quienes afirman que al capitalismo le iría mejor sin democracia, y la de quienes sostienen que la democracia estaría mejor sin capitalismo.

The Shifts and the Shocks is not another detailed history of the crisis but is the most persuasive and complete account yet published of what the crisis should teach us about modern economies and economic...

Economie en crisis zijn onlosmakelijk verbondenVijf jaar na de financiële crisis kwam Martin Wolf, de belangrijkste economie-commentator van de Londense Financial Times, tot de conclusie dat ons beeld over de economische stand van zaken beperkt en verward was.De onderliggende problemen kwamen niet genoeg voor het voetlicht, de samenhang ontbrak. In zijn boek analyseert hij hoe de economische aardverschuivingen zich aankondigden in voorgaande verand...

Brought to you by Penguin.Liberal democracy is in recession and authoritarianism is on the rise. The ties that ought to bind open markets to free and fair elections are being strained and spurned, even in democracy's notional heartlands. Around the world, powerful voices argue that capitalism is better without democracy; others that democracy is better without capitalism. This book is a forceful rejoinder to both views, offering a deep and lucid assessment of why t...

A powerful case for the global market economyThe debate on globalization has reached a level of intensity that inhibits comprehension and obscures the issues. In this book a highly distinguished international economist scrupulously explains how globalization works as a concept and how it operates in reality. Martin Wolf confronts the charges against globalization, delivers a devastating critique of each, and offers a realistic scenario for economic internationalism...

Um magnífico balanço sobre como e porquê está a desmoronar o casamento entre a democracia e o capitalismo. E a defesa do que pode ser feito para inverter esta dinâmica, pois, para Martin Wolf, apesar de todos os seus defeitos, o capitalismo democrático continua a ser o melhor sistema para o desenvolvimento. Mas o que vemos hoje é que a democracia liberal está em crise e o autoritarismo está a crescer. Além disso, os laços que deveriam ligar os mercados abertos a eleições livres e justas es...

Begun as a response to a front page photograph illustrating a tragedy that the media quickly sensationalized in the early 2000’s, Wolf tells the composite truth of two brothers, a family friend, a father, and a murder. Skeptical of news cycles and the way trials become page-turners, this book forgoes the standards of true crime: quick conclusions and moralistic underpinnings. Instead, motivated by an attempt to extend empathy, its reconstruction unfolds in tones of witness and meditation. ...
