capitalism

  1. I like the idea behind this book, however one year after reading it I don’t remeber anything specific about it.

  2. Suprisingly good book. Clever idea to outline several possible future scenarios. Mad Max one was the one I didn’t like for sure. This book made me watch a movie.
    Peter Frase
  3. … capitalism, like science and liberal democracy, was an outgrowth of the Enlightenment. Its principal theorists, even its most prosperous practitioners, believed capitalism to be based on the idea that both buyer and seller are sufficiently mature, well informed and reasonable to engage in transactions of mutual self-interest.
    Neil Postman
  4. I think that Capitalism, wisely managed, can probably be made more efficient for attaining economic ends than any alternative system yet in sight. But that in itself is in many ways extremely objectionable. Our problem is to work out a social organization which shall be as efficient as possible without offending our notions of a satisfactory way of life.
    John Maynard Keynes
  5. What bothered me most, however, was the fact that I found a lack of conceptual vision, not only in the economy, but in our very understanding of what the state should be. “The invisible hand of the market” was supposed to take care of everything, but there are things it simply can’t take care of, and I would even say that this glorious “invisible hand” is occasionally capable of committing highly visible crimes.
