Is Capitalism arbitrary and ultimately counter productive to human flourishing or has it been intrinsic to human advancement? Wealth of Ideas proposes an answer to this question by exploring key Capitalist inventions spanning human history and putting them in context with those times and ours.
Ideas like money, banks and capital reshaped financial and commercial landscapes. Did they do the same to the societies that used them? And if they did, what was the nature and degree of this influence? From the first money to cryptocurrency, the ties to civilization are fascinating and thought provoking.
Our Post-modern civilization is questioning just about all of our systems and norms. Capitalism is perhaps at the top of the list for skeptical scrutiny. If Capitalist componentry is up for grabs now is the time to look back to see if history has anything to teach us. Including context and commentary, as well as historical details, Wealth of Ideas wades into this dialectic.
