The World Under Capitalism: Observations on Economics, Politics, History, and Culture

Branko Milanovic

John Wiley & Sons, 07/04/2025 - 400 páginas

"Branko Milanovic is best known as one of the world’s leading experts on global inequality. But he is also an unusually wide-ranging and penetrating commentator on subjects across economics and beyond, in politics, history, and culture. This book brings together his most searching, provocative, and entertaining articles of recent years, providing an abundance of vital insights into the evolution and dynamics of the world under capitalism.

The volume features important ideas about the struggle to achieve a more equal and prosperous world against not only the predictable forces of deregulation and distraction but new ideas about shrinking the economy to protect the environment. Further from Milanovic’s speciality, readers will find an extraordinary array of reflections on subjects including migration, globalization, the politics and economics of Russia and China, the crisis of liberal democracy, economic and literary history, and the intellectual giants of economics. The pieces are united by Milanovic’s distinctive voice – humane, wry, and realistic – and by remarkable erudition worn lightly whether the topic is the fall of Constantinople, Jane Austen, or the mores of contemporary soccer.

No one can fail to learn from the book, while the sparkling prose, unexpected observations, and sheer importance of the subjects at hand make it a compelling read from start to finish."

Shared: The Rich Are Hoarding Wealth — Because They Know What’s Coming archive.md/Z9XYn.

> "The rich are not scrambling to prevent collapse. They welcome it — because they know they’ll be the only ones left standing. While the rest of us are told to “sacrifice” and “tighten our belts,” billionaires are building bunkers, buying private islands, and hoarding resources for the dystopia they see coming."

This essay is long and bleak. Sigh.

The Trump administration and the billionaire class it represents have declared research on transgender health wasteful, unnecessary, unscientific and ultimately lacking any benefit to everyday working people.

The truth is that these attacks hurt everyone.

Mutant Capitalism
How the dystopian visions of the nativist right are in keeping with a long tradition of neoliberal ideology.

Excerpt adapted from Hayek’s Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the Capitalism of the Far Right by Quinn Slobodian

History News Network · Mutant CapitalismHow the dystopian visions of the nativist right are in keeping with a long tradition of neoliberal ideology.

Capitalism is the root cause of the climate and environmental crises and cannot possibly be part of any solution. Either we end capitalism or capitalism will end us.

We're on a path to fail. There is no technology that can prevent the collapse of modern industrial society.

The good news: It is barely conceivable that with nearly immediate system change and a strong commitment to the principles of a just degrowth, we *might* be able to achieve a comparatively soft landing.

The bad news: Our capitalist rulers will surely not surrender to anything like the above without a hellish fight.
