In Does Capitalism Have a Future?, a global quintet of distinguished scholars cut their way through to the question of whether our capitalist system can survive in the medium run. Despite the current gloom, conventional wisdom still assumes that there is no real alternative to capitalism. The authors argue that this generalization is a mistaken outgrowth of the optimistic nineteenth-century claim that human history ascends through stages to an enlightened equilibrium of liberal capitalism.

Poor narration audio

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Only if they are really interested in the subject
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
The subject I find interesting. Change the word story for subject in non-fiction books.
How could the performance have been better?
Someone removed the hi-mid and higher frequencies in the narrators voice, which leaves the recording sounding muffled.
I don't care for the narrator's style either. Hi prosody sounds stuffy.

Why is America living in an age of profound economic inequality? Why, despite the desperate need to address climate change, have even modest environmental efforts been defeated again and again? Why have protections for employees been decimated? Why do hedge-fund billionaires pay a far lower tax rate than middle-class workers? The conventional answer is that a popular uprising against "big government" led to the rise of a broad-based conservative movement.

Would you consider the audio edition of Dark Money to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the physical edition, but I am sure I would retain the info better.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
The documentation and accuracy of references.
What does Kirsten Potter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Hard to say. But her pronunciation and voice work very well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No
Any additional comments?
Please have someone record "Killing the Host" by Michael Hudson. Killing the Host is also one of the more important books I have recently discovered, but analyzes the economy and politics for a similar, but somewhat different angle.
