What is capitalism? Is capitalism the same everywhere? Is there an
alternative? The word 'capitalism' is one that is heard and used
frequently, but what is capitalism really all about, and what does
it mean? This Very Short Introduction addresses questions such as
'what is capital?' before discussing the history and development of
capitalism through several detailed case studies, ranging from the
tulipomania of 17th century Holland, the Great Depression of the
1930s, and in this new edition, the impact of the global financial
crisis that started in 2007-8. James Fulcher looks at the different
forms that capitalism takes in Britain, Japan, Sweden, and the
United States, and explores whether capitalism has escaped the
nation-state by going global. It ends by asking whether there is an
alternative to capitalism, discussing socialism, communal and
cooperative experiments, and the alternatives proposed by
environmentalists. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions
