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.

評分我們生活在全球資本主義的世界。隻是此資本主義已經發生多種形態變化,與曆史上的截然不同,不同國傢的資本主義也不盡相。在可見未來,還沒有可以替代它的更好的製度。資本主義的生産與消費脫節,注定周期性産生危機,但還沒有哪一次危機可以斷送資本主義。作者洋洋灑灑在每一...
評分文/吳情 數十年前,中國國內常常談及“資本主義”一詞,不過,在大部分時候該詞被賦予負麵意義。與“資本主義”相聯係的,往往還有“資産階級”一詞。讀者如你我,想必麵對“打倒資産階級反動學術權威”、“打倒走資本主義道路的當權派”等口號不會陌生。去除意識形態後,資本...
評分很一般-_-||不過有幾個見解還是很不錯的,全球化並不是真正的全球化,不論是從他的純粹性(隻是藉用其他地區的資源給本國的公司輸入資本)還是涉及範圍(歐洲 北美 人口資源大國)。資本主義不斷生産不斷鼓勵我們消費。我有時候覺得資本主義應該發展得不能發展瞭吧,然後轉念一...
