Since its emergence at the end of the seventeenth century,
industrial capitalism as a specific form of social organisation has
set recurrent challenges to its own persistence, and until today,
it has proved to be successful to develop new ways of accumulation
based on its capacity of adaptation. Is this process of transition
now accelerating or reaching an end point? This book is a critical
exploration of capitalism in transition, bringing together cutting
edge, world renowned scholars who reflect from different
disciplinary points of view. This collection engages with the
primarily Western themes of welfare capitalism and social
fragmentation. Structured over three parts, the book analyses; the
transformations of welfare societies and capitalism with a focus on
South European welfare states and their (in)capacity to tackle
poverty; the transformation of work and migration with a special
attention to informality and the question of social rights; and the
transformation of cities. This book is relevant to United Nations
Sustainable Development Goal 1, No poverty. -- .
