Revolution Capitalism

At a time when artificial intelligence, climate change, and inequality are raising fundamental questions about the economic system, Capitalism and Its Critics provides a kaleidoscopic history of global capitalism, from the East India Company to Apple. But here John Cassidy, a staff writer at The New Yorker and a Pulitzer Prize finalist, adopts a bold new approach: he tells the story through the eyes of the system’s critics.

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (1870-1924) is better known by his alias Lenin. A Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist, he served as the head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia became the Soviet Union, a one-party state governed by the Communist Party.

With its deep roots and global scope, the capitalist system provides the framework for our lives. It is a framework of constant change, sometimes measured and predictable, sometimes drastic and out of control. Yet what is now ubiquitous was not always so. Capitalism took shape centuries ago, starting with a handful of isolated changes in farming, trade, and manufacturing, clustered in early-modern England. Astute observers began to notice these changes and consider their effects. Those in power began to harness these new practices to the state, enhancing both.

What if the world shrugged before Atlas did? Paul Hendrickson - a married middle-American father of three and IT project manager - would rather watch paint dry than worry about politics. And like most Americans, for Hendrickson, "freedom" was something he'd taken for granted; "liberty and justice for all", a slogan he repeated every morning in elementary school. But earth-shattering events in the near future cause him, his family, and the entire world around him to confront the questions "what is freedom?", and "what is civilization?" Join Paul Hendrickson, his family, and a cast of ...

Our civilisation is no longer run by humans, but by profit. Society has become a money machine with no blood, no pulse, and no other preoccupation than to monetize itself and the original humans who created it. Within this dystopian context, even humans themselves have become products: they need to be bought and sold so that they can exist. They need to be used to have a purpose. And they need to lie about themselves in order to be loved. As witnessed during the industrial revolution, aggressive commoditisation across manufacturing resulted in inferior quality consumer goods, significant ...

It took a while for the vital myth-shattering ideas of Galileo, Bruno, and Copernicus to spread. We find ourselves in a similar situation. Whether homo sapiens ultimately self-destroys in another tribalistic world war, Socialist revolution, environmental disaster, or CovidMania-like self-mutilating economic lockdowns, it will all come down to whether the ideas of the ‘The Austrian School of Economics’ reach leaders in time. If you know where to look you can easily see how the vital wisdom of ‘The Austrians’ is spreading. Via his 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns, former US ...
