Poor old capitalism: a review article

TL;DRAbstract

For a teacher of comparative economic systems, the publication of The Capitalist System: A Radical Analysis of American Society, by Edwards, Reich, and Weisskopf, is a windfall: it presents him with 540 pages of radical attack on capitalism all in one place, including passages from Marx and Engels, Polanyi, Dobb, Baran and Sweezy, Mumford, Gintis, Fromm, Bowles, and others. The three editors wrote brief introductions to each chapter and to each selection and contributed several articles of their own. Most of the material is nontechnical and well written; it should be accessible to any intelligent undergraduate and lay reader.
