Business at a Crossroads - by Tom Lloyd (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Recent events suggest liberal capitalism harbours two dangerous seeds of self-destruction; growing inequality and a tendency for markets to spiral out of control. This book advocates the restoration to an earlier state of another sub-system of liberal capitalism, some of the features of which lie at the heart of liberal capitalism's malaise.

Review Quotes
