There are two volumes to Capitalism in Crisis. Volume 1
investigates what has gone wrong. Volume 2 responds to the
challenge laid down in Volume 1. In Volume 1, we argued that
shareholders and the financial sector of the economy had become
severed from stakeholders within companies who do the work and
create the wealth we all enjoy. This has led to gross inequality
with declining rewards for those working in the real economy on
productive tasks. In turn, this has reduced wages and diverted
funds from the most important contributors. We are less productive
and innovative as a consequence. In this volume, we will address
the subject of values. We will argue that values have scientific
and verifiable meanings and it is possible to determine with great
accuracy the kind of valuing that contributes to our integrity and
the values that tear us apart. We criticise the contention of
positivists that values are entirely subjective, have no testable
meaning and are mere matters of taste, like the taste buds on
tongues. We believe this doctrine has betrayed generations of
students and must come to an end. Once we have restored values to
their proper place, we will see who in our society creates wealth
and value and who does not, who threatens democracy and who
supports it. All values are really differences, and we need to
reconcile these differences to remain civilized and in dialogue
with one another.
