Where has capitalism gone wrong? Why are advanced capitalist
economies so sick and why do conventional policy solutions, such as
reduced taxes and increased money supply, produce only wider income
disparity and inequality? We now live in a new world in which we
enjoy the highest living standard in history, acquiring ever more
goods and services as necessary luxuries. Yet current policies only
serve to expand public debt and exacerbate socio-economic
inequality. In Too much stuff, Yamamura upends conventional
capitalist wisdom to provide a new approach. He suggests the only
way for capitalism and democracy to thrive is to increase
investment to meet societal needs such as improving social safety
nets, infrastructure, and better education and health care for all,
but this means raising taxes. Both solutions-orientated and
accessibly written, this book argues that this will help reduce the
growing wealth gap which threatens global democracy. With
fascinating examples from the US, Japan and Germany, as well as
convincing evidence from across the Western world, this bold book
challenges the economic orthodoxy and offers practical steps
forward that we can all support.
