The global economic crisis has catalysed debates about the merits of
capitalism as a system for organizing production, distribution and
exchange. Political elites have argued that capitalism is not
fundamentally pernicious or crisis-prone and can be successfully
reformed with the right set of policies. Conversely, many have argued
that a wholesale change of attitude towards the status and creation of
wealth in contemporary society is required if crises of this kind are
to be prevented in the future. In Capitalism and Its Alternatives,
Chris Rogers provides a critical introduction to theories of
capitalism and to the forms of its crises in historical and
contemporary contexts, as well as reflecting on the practice of
anti-capitalism and the ways that economic and social relations are
shaped, reshaped and resisted. Crucially, the book asks two key
questions: What alternatives to capitalism exist? And by what
processes and through what institutions might they be achieved?
