James Fulcher read History at Cambridge, took a Sociology Masters at the London School of Economics, and wrote his PhD at the University of Leicester. His career was spent in the Sociology Department at the University of Leicester and, with John Scott, he produced a number of editions of Sociology, published by Oxford, which has been judged "the best of the all-encompassing texts". His main research interest has been in the history of industrial relations in Sweden and his main teaching interest in the development of Japanese society.
What is capitalism? Is capitalism the same everywhere? Is there an alternative?
The word "capitalism" is one that is heard and used frequently, but what is capitalism really all about, and what does it mean? This Very Short Introduction addresses questions such as, "what is capital?" before discussing the history and development of capitalism through several detailed case studies, ranging from the tulipomania of 17th century Holland, the Great Depression of the 1930s, and in this new edition, the impact of the global financial crisis that started in 2007-08.
James Fulcher looks at the different forms that capitalism takes in Britain, Japan, Sweden, and the United States, and explores whether capitalism has escaped the nation-state by going global. It ends by asking whether there is an alternative to capitalism, discussing socialism, communal and cooperative experiments, and the alternatives proposed by environmentalists.

评分文章的特点是没有把资本主义相关的各方对立起来,而恰恰是相关各方的自我满足产生的行为和结果导致了一个动态的资本主义社会的存在,这颇符合大自然的一些规矩,互相制约,所不同的是,大自然是适可而止的中庸之道,而人类的你争我夺也是你死我活的偏执,这是对欲望的无限需求...
评分总的来说,谈主义这一类的话题很容易因为不同的背景而进行先验地回答。从资本主义的普遍发源国英国人谈论出来一回事,马克思讲出来是一回事,我们讲出来又是一回事。越来越觉得对不了解的事物真是要从各种角度出发去学习研究才可能形成有底气的自我判断。(总不能说主观上先形...
评分My title may seem misleading because the author didn't address this very issue. In my humble opinion, this seldom matters, because a tireless pursuit of a precise definition of everything seems to be lost causes. Hence a Witgensteinian approach might serve ...
评分很一般-_-||不过有几个见解还是很不错的,全球化并不是真正的全球化,不论是从他的纯粹性(只是借用其他地区的资源给本国的公司输入资本)还是涉及范围(欧洲 北美 人口资源大国)。资本主义不断生产不断鼓励我们消费。我有时候觉得资本主义应该发展得不能发展了吧,然后转念一...
