For several decades people have been grappling with how to retain
the material safety and cultural richness of indigenous
non-capitalist societies and economies, but also gain the health,
wealth, education and life opportunities the modern capitalist
world offers. This book brings together examples of attempts to
forge locally appropriate versions of modernity; development that
suits the aspirations and circumstances of particular groups of
people. Authors question how the market economy has been variously
negotiated by groups who also have other systems through which they
organize their social and economic life. What has worked for these
people, what has not, and why? The volume addresses how, as a
social and economic system, capitalism has been very effective in
generating wealth and technological innovation, but has also been
associated with great social inequity and environmental damage. Its
inherent flaws have been highlighted by the escalation of
ecological problems arising from growth-oriented capitalism and
various economic crises, the latest being the Global Financial
Crisis and its ongoing fallout.
