Capitalism's toxic assumptions : Adam Smith's 7 deadly sins
Poole, Eve, 1972-2015
Book
In science, no-one believes the earth is flat any more. Economists, on the other hand, haven't budged from their original worldview. Market capitalism depends on seven big ideas: competition, the 'invisible hand', utility, agency theory, pricing, shareholder value, and limited liability. These served the world well in the past, but over the years they have become cancerous, and are slowly killing the system as a whole. Eve Poole argues that if you zoom in on any of these firm foundations, they start to blur and wobble. Here she offers alternative views for a healthier system. And looking at them together, it becomes clear why we're so stuck.
