The corruption of capitalism
Title The corruption of capitalism : why rentiers thrive and work does not pay / Guy Standing Author Standing, Guy, 1948- (Author) Issue First published Publication London : Bb, Biteback Publishing, 2016 Scope xv, 352 stran ; 23 cm Country United Kingdom Language English Note Obsahuje bibliografii a rejstřík Annotation "There is a lie at the heart of global capitalism. Politicians, financiers, and global bureaucrats claim to believe in free, competitive markets, but have constructed the most unfree market system ever made. It is corrupt because income is channelled to the owners of property - financial, physical and intellectual - at the expense of society. This book reveals how global capitalism is rigged in favour of rentiers to the detriment of all of us, especially the precariat. A plutocracy and elite enriches itself, not through production of goods and services, but through ownership of assets, including intellectual property, aided by subsidies, tax breaks, debt mechanisms, revolving doors between politics and business, and the privatization of public services. Rentier capitalism is entrenched by the corruption of democracy, manipulated by the plutocracy and an elite-dominated media. The Corruption of Capitalism argues that rentier capitalism is fostering revolt, and concludes by outlining a new income distribution system that would achieve the extinction of the rentier while promoting sustainable growth."--Cover Výrazy tezauru tržní ekonomika * korupce * volná soutěž * rozdělování bohatství * trh práce * společensko-hospodářské poměry Klasifikační znaky 1621 - Hospodářská struktura 2821 - Sociální rámec ISBN 978-1-78590-044-0 Copy count 1, currently available 1 URL The corruption of capitalism (obsah)
