Der moderne Kapitalismus und seine Überlebenschance. (Hubert Kiesewetter)

»Modern Capitalism and its Chances to Survive«: Since generations capitalism has been disputed by scholars and economists as an economic system which produces more negative than of positive results. Hence, in this book I attempt to compare economic systems from antiquity until today in order to find out whether they had similar structures or if they were completely different. I am convinced that the industrialization since the second half of the 18th century in Great Britain and Europe significantly changed the economic and social patterns in industrializing countries all over the world. For an instance, it is notable that productive life in our modern societies bear few similarities to former economies. In spite of many negative statements against recent capitalism, I attempt to argue that modern economic methods will continue to improve modern human life.
