Capitalism invades our lives daily as we earn and spend, win and lose, trade and save, buy and sell, work and play. It is capitalism, not democracy, that affects our lives everyday - in the age of corporate downsizing, the demise of social security and of vicious welfare debates. This volume addresses the future of capitalism through the visions of today's academic innovators. Dougherty popularizes the views and visions of Robert Merton, Paul Romer and other leaders who are designing a better functioning capitalism that touches on everything from the future of social security to drug trafficking. Table of Contents Preface: Sympathy for the Dismal. Letter Man. The Instructions. The Warning. Little Platoons. Enlightenment Wonk. Soul Survivors. Dragon Slayers. Comeback Kid. Kitchen Chemists. Egg Men. Urban Outfitters. Epilogue: Go with the Flow. Endnotes. Bibliography.
