Most people today are poor, and unemployment continues to run rampant. Can capitalism truly lift us up? Author John Bosco Nkumunue, an economist, believes it can-as long as the world gets behind a new form and concept of capitalism. Nkumunue is on a mission to fight poverty, redistribute wealth, and create better living conditions for vast numbers of people. In this study, he outlines how this new form of capitalism would affect the rich, the middle-class, and the poor. He explores critical issues, such as - the key role that demand plays in the economy; - the unforeseen ways in which liquidity affects us; - ways in which businesses can bolster markets through investment; and - ways for consumers can wield power in the marketplace. A progressive form of capitalism could alleviate the world's suffering and narrow the wealth gap by stimulating investment and therefore job growth. It has the potential to change the economic classes of the world, decrease poverty, and end the global economic crisis.

In the second volume of Corfe's work on Social Capitalism, he examines the financial-industrial system and identifies issues, which are untouched by contemporary politicians across the political spectrum.

Since first published in 2002, After Capitalism has offered students and political activists alike a coherent vision of a viable and desirable alternative to capitalism. David Schweickart calls this system Economic Democracy, a successor-system to capitalism which preserves the efficiency strengths of a market economy while extending democracy to the workplace and to the structures of investment finance. In the second edition, Schweickart recognizes that increased globalization of companies has created greater than ever interdependent economies and the debate about the desirability of entrepreneurship is escalating. The new edition includes a new preface, completely updated data, reorganized chapters, and new sections on the economic instability of capitalism, the current economic crisis, and China. Drawing on both theoretical and empirical research, Schweickart shows how and why this model is efficient, dynamic, and applicable in the world today.
