Reviewer comments:
The author describes 'capitalism' as an organic creature that evolves and
reorganizes itself to suit external and internal conditions and circumstances
as if it were alive seeking self preservation. Actually, it is an abstract
concept and today's version of that concept far exceeded its original idea. He
selects certain events that took place and dominant economic theories that were
popular at times to identify stages in this evolution, which he divides into
three major eras, each with several subdivisions beginning in the late 18th
century with Adam Smith. All this is background leading up to his major theory
that the world is now entering into a fourth and very distinct new phase of
'capitalism' brought about by the financial crisis of 2008-09, which, he
believes, occurred due to a failure of stage three capitalism. This theoretical
method greatly downplays the influence on events of the human actors
responsible..
