Capitalism by David McCord Wright is a comprehensive exploration of the economic system that has shaped modern society. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the origins and evolution of capitalism, tracing its development from the mercantilism of the 16th century to the globalized economy of the 21st century. Wright examines the fundamental principles of capitalism, including private property, free markets, and competition, and explores the ways in which these principles have been applied in different historical contexts.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the role of government in regulating the economy, the impact of capitalism on social inequality, and the relationship between capitalism and democracy. Wright also examines the challenges facing capitalism today, including the rise of populism, the impact of technology on the job market, and the environmental consequences of economic growth.Throughout the book, Wright provides a balanced and nuanced perspective on the strengths and weaknesses of capitalism, drawing on a wide range of historical and contemporary examples. He argues that while capitalism has been responsible for significant economic growth and technological innovation, it has also created social and environmental problems that must be addressed if the system is to remain sustainable in the long term.Overall, Capitalism is a thought-provoking and accessible introduction to one of the most important economic systems in human history. It will be of interest to students and scholars of economics, history, and political science, as well as to anyone interested in understanding the forces that have shaped our modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
