But in this sweeping, kaleidoscopic history of the economic system that has shaped our world, the New Yorker writer John Cassidy adopts a bold new approach: he examines global capitalism through the eyes of its critics. From the English Luddites to early-twentieth-century communists in Germany and Russia, Latin American dependistas, the international Wages for Housework campaign of the 1970s, and the modern degrowth movement, this absorbing narrative traverses the globe. It visits with familiar names, but also focuses on many lesser-known figures whose impact was nonetheless undeniable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlending rich biography, panoramic history, and lively exploration of economic theories, \u003ci\u003eCapitalism and Its Critics\u003c\/i\u003e tells an expansive story that illuminates the deep roots of many of the most urgent issues we face today, from widening inequality and the ecological crisis to technological transformation and resurgent authoritarian politics.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Cassidy\u003c\/b\u003e is a staff writer at \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and the author of\u003ci\u003e Dot.con: The Greatest Story Ever Sold\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHow Markets Fail\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction.
