Description

Product Description While many have claimed that no one could have foreseen the financial crisis, Harry Shutt was predicting just such a collapse as far back as 1998 in his book, The 'Trouble With Capitalism'. In 'What Comes After the Profits System?', Shutt offers a radically different analysis to the mainstream, establishment commentators who have struggled to come to terms with the crisis. Arguing that we need to move away from a system based on a compulsive addiction to growth and obsession with the profit motive, towards a collectivist, more humane economic mode, the book provides not merely a comprehensive background to the flawed ideologies that precipitated the collapse, but also a radical, though realistic, way forward in light of the catastrophe. Review 'This has been the most interesting discussion with an economist I have ever had in my life.' George Galloway, Press TV About the Author Harry Shutt was educated at Oxford and Warwick Universities. He worked for six years in the Development and Planning Division of the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). He then moved to the Research Department of the General and Municipal Workers' Union (1973-76) and subsequently became Chief Economist at the Fund for Research and Investment for the Development of Africa (1977-79). Since then he has been an independent economic consultant. His books include 'The Myth of Free Trade: Patterns of Protectionism Since 1945', (Basil Blackwell/The Economist, 1985), 'The Trouble with Capitalism: An Inquiry into the Causes of Global Economic Failure', (Zed Books, 1999), 'A New Democracy: Alternatives to a Bankrupt World Order' (Zed Books, 2001) and 'The Decline of Capitalism: Can a Self-Regulated Profits System Survive (Zed Books, 2004).'The Trouble with Capitalism: An Inquiry into the Causes of Global Economic Failure', (Zed Books, 2009)
