商品簡介
Sassower (philosophy, U. of Colorado) argues for a pragmatic reassessment of capitalism that holds on to useful myths, such as equality and freedom, and rejects harmful myths such as the disconnection of the individual from the community, the necessity of competition for economic productivity, and the separation and antagonism of the private sector and the public sector. He calls for founding a pragmatic "postcapitalism" that promotes collaboration and collegiality and that appreciates the social, political, and moral frameworks that legally protect marketplace interactions among people. He finds support for this viewpoint in the writings of Adam Smith, the features of the knowledge industry, and the sociopsychological makeup of humanity.
