Sinossi
Nuove e profonde contrapposizioni lacerano il tessuto sociale delle società occidentali: grandi città contro province povere, élite altamente specializzate contro masse di lavoratori poco qualificati, paesi ricchi contro paesi poveri. Queste lacerazioni generano nuove ansie, nuova rabbia e nuove passioni politiche, come testimonia l'ondata di consensi ricevuti dai populisti di tutto il mondo, da Trump al partito della Brexit, sino all'estrema destra italiana. In questo libro appassionato e polemico, Paul Collier, uno dei maggiori esperti mondiali su povertà e migrazioni, prova a delineare i percorsi attraverso i quali superare queste nuove fratture economiche, sociali e culturali. Solo se il capitalismo riesce a darsi un fondamento etico tale da rendersi equo e compassionevole, e non solo efficiente ed economicamente fiorente, potrà garantire una vita degna. Un capitalismo in cui la dignità e la reciprocità prevalgano sull'aggressività, sulla paura e sull'umiliazione, caratteri tipici della nostra 'società dei rottweiler'.

Recensioni
I’m a big fan of Paul Collier. A highly respected Oxford economist (and a knight!), he has spent his career trying to understand and alleviate global poverty. His book The Bottom Billion is still on the short list of books that I recommend to people, even though a lot has changed since it was publis Leggi tutto
Бъдещето на капитализма на практика е бъдещето на световната икономика (добре де, Китай отчасти все още милее за комунистическата си принадлежност). Това ще рече, че горди хвалби като „25 години народна власт – 25 години цирк“ спокойно могат да отлежават някъде заедно с портрета на Маркс. Като се за Leggi tutto
Collier's pragmatic approach to social and economic issues facing western capitalism today is a refreshing read. This book focuses on how to renew our sense of reciprocal obligation towards one another. Collier constantly refers to the golden years of capitalism, 1945-1970, and compares that to this Leggi tutto
This is a wonderful book, even better than I expected. The author is a respected and well published Oxford economist. The intent of the book is to provide a thoughtful overview of the problems facing global capitalism and even offer some possible fixes, perhaps in conjunction with his retirement tho Leggi tutto
Reading a centrist's point of view on politics, sociology and economy is always a challenge for me, but I accepted this one with interest because of the good reviews and credentials of the author. I was, however, disappointed and at times enraged by the superficiality of this book. I have seen past
Too academic, dense and basically has nothing to do with its title or the subjects listed in the blurb. I was expecting a cogent analysis of the current state of capitalism and the way forward. What I got is an incoherent collection of essays on ethics, society, and nothing on capitalism in the firs Leggi tutto
What Oxford professor Paul Collier has written here is not only a very involved work of economics but also a deeply felt expression of ethics surrounding the current socio-political climate and how that has tainted and marginalized rational discussion of purely economic issues. He frames the idea of Leggi tutto
