Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In his previous bestsellers, Who Will Tell the People and Secrets of the Temple, William Greider laid bare the inner workings of American politics and the Federal Reserve, revealing how they often work against the interests of the majority of us. In The Soul of Capitalism, Greider examines how the greatest wealth-creation engine in the history of the world is failing most of us, why it must be changed, and how specifically it can be transformed.

Brilliantly perceptive and sweeping in its ambition, The Soul of Capitalism is also hard-headed and practical, as Greider, one of our most eloquent populist spokesmen, assures us we are not powerless. He illustrates how American capitalism can be aligned more faithfully and obediently with what people want and need in their lives, with what American society needs for a healthy, balanced, and humane future. He proves that it is within our power to reinvent capitalism to make it work for us.

The Soul of Capitalism — solid, pragmatic, visionary, optimistic — addresses the nation's most urgent needs.

Review:

Vincent Boland

FT Investor (Financial Times)

Greider knows his economics and his markets. He is not an anti-capitalist. This makes his book persuasive.

Review:

Andrew Leonard

Salon.com

Instead of simply saying capitalism is wrong, Greider is asking us how to make it more right. Above all, he is expressing a profound faith in the American character, in the restless curiosity and endless innovation inherent in the national fiber.

Review:

Barbara Ehrenreich

author of Nickel and Dimed

What can we do about capitalism? Plenty — is Greider's answer in this beautifully reasoned, visionary book.

Synopsis:

The author of the bestselling "Who Will Tell the People?" shows how to reinvent capitalism so it works not just for most of people, but for all people.
