The Ethical Crisis of Modern Capitalism
Imagine living in a world where your hometown's industrial heart has been ripped out, where your education determines not just your job but your entire life trajectory, and where the social contract that once bound communities together has frayed beyond recognition. This isn't dystopian fiction-it's the reality Paul Collier examines in "The Future of Capitalism." What makes his analysis uniquely compelling is his personal journey: raised in working-class Sheffield, he witnessed his hometown's collapse while his own academic career flourished. This lived experience of capitalism's broken promise gives him a rare perspective that bridges worlds typically separated by education, geography, and class. The crisis we face isn't just economic-it's moral. The post-war consensus that delivered unprecedented prosperity between 1945-1970 has unraveled, replaced by a system that generates wealth but fails to distribute it fairly or sustain the social bonds that make life meaningful. Half of Americans born in the 1980s are poorer than their parents. Metropolitan areas boom while provincial cities decline. The educated form a separate class with distinct values, while less-educated workers face economic insecurity and social breakdown.
