- & why it's time for a change. For three centuries the capitalist system has shaped western society informed its rulers & conditioned the lives of its people. Has the time come to move beyond it? Using his unrivalled knowledge of the subject Harvey lays bare the follies of the international financial system looking at the nature of capitalism how it works & why sometimes it doesn't.
