Description
In this incisive, clear-sighted portrait, award-winning Financial Times journalist John Plender explores the paradoxes and pitfalls inherent in this extraordinarily dynamic mechanism, and in our attitudes to it. Taking us on a journey from the Venetian merchants of the Renaissance to the gleaming temples of 21st-century commerce, Plender views capitalism through the eyes of philosophers, novelists, poets, artists and economists.
