Product Information
Challenging and at times provocative, Just Capital explores how we combine, reconcile and, if necessary, trade-off a dynamic and growing ecomy with an inclusive and environmentally responsible society. It considers in particular, and debunks, the proposition that the globalization of the world ecomy limits our ability to combine ecomic success and a good society. It explores how information techlogy is transforming businessess and ecomic structures, but challenge conventional assumptions about the social implications of the kwledge society. Liberal in its ecomic and political outlook, and committed to a market ecomy, Turner's book also identifies where the market is failing and where the state needs to, and can usefully intervene to achieve desirable social and environmental ends. Turner strongly believes that, provided we make sensible choices and reject confused conventional wisdoms, we can successfully combine ecomic dynamism with an equitable society, with adequate provision for all.Product Identifiers
