The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism
Book • 2024
In this book, Martin Wolf examines the strained relationship between capitalism and democracy, highlighting how economic and political changes have undermined this marriage.
He argues that despite its recent failings, such as slowing growth and increasing inequality, democratic capitalism is still the best system we know for human flourishing.
Wolf emphasizes that capitalism and democracy are complementary opposites that need each other to thrive and that their separation would be catastrophic.
The book concludes by discussing what needs to be done to address the threats to liberal democracy itself.
