With its roots in history and eyes on the future, this book traces the development of our economic society from the Middle Ages to the present, offering a balanced perspective of why our economy is the way it is and where it may be headed. It explores the catalytic role past economic trends and dynamics--particularly capitalism--have played in creating the present challenges we face, and offers suggestions on how we may deal with them most effectively in the future.
