The global financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 ruined businesses and banks, individuals and even nations, and seemed to land a mortal blow to the capitalist system. But capitalism was not destroyed, rather it was irrevocably altered: the forces that precipitated the crisis are now contributing to the evolution of a new, stronger version of the capitalist model.

Tracing the development of capitalism from the late eighteenth century through three distinct historical phases, Kaletsky shows how at each of these transitions the existing economic order appeared to be fatally threatened, only for capitalism to reinvent itself and emerge stronger than before. The turning point for our most recent age of capitalism came on 15 September 2008 when Lehman Brothers collapsed, setting off market chaos which, had it not been for government bailouts and guarantees, would have toppled every bank in the Western world, an incident which set off the fourth major systemic transformation in capitalism's history - Capitalism 4.0.

Understanding Capitalism 4.0 will be critical to the continued recovery of our global economies. In this controversial and wide-ranging book, Anatole Kaletsky, one of the world's foremost economic commentators, puts recent financial events into historical and ideological perspective. He describes the emerging features of this new capitalist model, explains how it differs from the previous versions - and how it will change politics, finance, international relations and economic thinking in the next decade.

Product description

Review

'Anatole Kaletsky is a brilliant economist and a gifted writer, a combination as valuable as it is unusual. Capitalism 4.0 will add greatly to our understanding of the future of global finance' ― George Soros

'Anatole Kaletsky is one of the handful of heavyweight UK commentators who set the tone of public discourse on economic policy. His book goes well beyond typical comment to give an insightful analysis of the recent financial crash in a broad historical context' ― Vince Cable

'Idiosyncratic, entertaining and contrarian' ― Sunday Times

'A hugely ambitious and controversial account of the credit crunch which brilliantly traces the hotchpotch of economic theories that underpins it, and convincingly explains how it came to go so catastrophically wrong ... Kalestsky offers a genuinely new take on the credit crunch' ― Literary Review

Book Description

The definitive book about the state of Capitalism; now and in the future, that debunks myths and presents groundbreaking new theories

The death of capitalism, postponed...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 June 2013

Verified Purchase

The current economic crisis has led to confusion as to 'what next'. As a piece of grafitti in Athens said' Marx is dead, God is dead... and I don't feel very well lately'. In other words, with the failures of socialism and of the Church, the failure of capitalism left people exasperated and with shaken beliefs. It also left us looking for solutions after most of what we believed to be cast in stone -such as bank accounts/guarantees for example- crumbled. This book gives the answer in what it calls CAPITALISM 4.0. Although in driving the point home it does get a little repetitive, it analyses the evolution and failures of past forms of capitalism and proposes a new form where the former unshakeable dogmas have little place. The new form of capitalism is the pragmatic application of everything we know about economics, politics and the human nature. It signals the end of Monetarist market fundamentalism (and simple mindedness) and is all for practical economic management on the basis of fact rather than belief. A very good buy for those looking for answers.

I bought this book to get a better handle on what is going on with our economy and was not disappointed. The book is understandable by a non-specialist, cuts through all the conflicting points of view and provides a long view.

Overall I would heartily recommend this book trying to make sense of the current financial mess. It is amazing how differently you see things that other people write about the economic crisis once you have read this book. There are so many conflicting opinions it can drive you crazy!

Great Book

I loved this book. Showed real depth as well as breadth and made much more sense to me than some of the other explanations I have read. Particularly like the way in which its sets the crisis within an historical context, so it is seen as a part of a continuum rather than an isolated incident.

Finally the way it is written is witty, amusing and iconoclastic. Highly recommended!

K pulls a number of strands together to offer a coherent approach to thinking about the economic structure of the world order. Nice job discussing competing ideologies and theories.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 August 2010

Verified Purchase

Anatole Kaletsky has provided much needed historical perspective on the Global Financial Crash. There are many books that have been, or are being, written about the GFC but Kaletsky provides the context to attempt to look forward and second guess what will unfold over the next decade. No one book can complete the picture as the likely underlying propellants of change are not just economic but more a complex jigsaw of social,economic,evolutionary and neurological reasons. But if you want to focus on the economics aspects and hear a seasoned economist's view this book does the job.

The thrust of his view is that love,like,hate or detest it Capitalism is the only game in town - but it has to evolve again and enter its next phase.
