Description
Challenging and at times provocative, "Just Capital" explores how we combine, reconcile and, if necessary, trade-off a dynamic and growing economy with an inclusive and environmentally responsible society. It considers in particular, and debunks, the proposition that the "globalization" of the world economy limits our ability to combine economic success and a "good" society. It explores how information technology is transforming businessess and economic structures, but challenge conventional assumptions about the social implications of the "knowledge" society. Liberal in its economic and political outlook, and committed to a market economy, Turner's book also identifies where the market is failing and where the state needs to, and can usefully intervene to achieve desirable social and environmental ends. Turner strongly believes that, provided we make sensible choices and reject confused conventional wisdoms, we can successfully combine economic dynamism with an equitable society, with adequate provision for all.
