Capitalism 4.0: The Birth of a New Economy

Uncovering the transitions of capitalism from the late 19th century through three apparent historical phases, Anatole Kaletsky shows on his book, Capitalism 4.0, how at each of these phases the existing economic order seemed to be grievously threatened, only for capitalism to reinvent itself and transpire stronger than ever. In this controversial and broad book, Kaletsky connects recent financial occurrences into historical and ideological perspective. The supreme economic commentator says that capitalism was not ruined, rather it was irrevocably refashioned.

  • Capitalism 4.0 will change politics, finance, international relations, and economic thinking in the coming decades.

  • According to Kaletsky, Capitalism is likely to transform in the coming decades into something different both from the totally deregulated market fundamentalism of Reagan/Thatcher and from the Roosevelt-Kennedy era.
