商品描述

This book contains another set of essays dealing with the fundamental economic problems of our time: inequality, environment degradation, and social disorder, which are analyzed in light of the unified theory of capitalism. This theory is a scientific endeavor that seeks to explain the capitalist system taken by parts and then taken as a whole, as a unified theory. By parts, the theory analyzes the First World and the Third World and also the short run, long run, and very long run economic processes, showing why and how economic growth has led to a new epoch, with ecological equilibrium disruption, known as the Anthropocene Age. The empirical predictions of the theory are proven to be consistent with the available facts. Therefore, the theory can be accepted as a good representation of the real-world capitalism; moreover, its derived causality relations become inputs for the debate on the needed science-based policies for the new age. Indeed, this book proposes structuralpolicies to change the way capitalism operates, through changes in its basic institutions, mainly the electoral democracy, which would certainly imply a re-foundation of the capitalist system.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書包含了一系列探討當前基本經濟問題的文章:不平等、環境退化和社會動盪,這些問題是從統一的資本主義理論的角度進行分析的。這一理論是一項科學努力,旨在解釋資本主義系統,既可以分部分分析,也可以作為一個整體來看作統一的理論。從部分來看,該理論分析了第一世界和第三世界,以及短期、長期和非常長期的經濟過程,顯示了經濟增長如何導致一個新的時代,這個時代以生態平衡的破壞為特徵,被稱為人類世(Anthropocene Age)。該理論的實證預測被證明與現有事實一致。因此,這一理論可以被接受為現實世界資本主義的良好代表;此外,其衍生的因果關係成為針對新時代所需的基於科學的政策辯論的輸入。事實上,這本書提出了結構性政策,以改變資本主義的運作方式,通過改變其基本制度,主要是選舉民主,這無疑意味著資本主義系統的重新建立。
