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.

評分文/吴情 数十年前,中国国内常常谈及“资本主义”一词,不过,在大部分时候该词被赋予负面意义。与“资本主义”相联系的,往往还有“资产阶级”一词。读者如你我,想必面对“打倒资产阶级反动学术权威”、“打倒走资本主义道路的当权派”等口号不会陌生。去除意识形态后,资本...
評分“全球性资本主义”这一概念也产生了具有重要影响的、误导性的神话。神话一:全球性资本主义是新近产物。这种说法是错误的,因为全球性资本主义有悠久的历史渊源。神话二:资本在全球范围内流动。事实上,大多数资本只在一小部分富裕国家之间流动。神话三:资本主义的组织形式...
