About this book
"On the Edge comprises original essays by, among others, Paul Volcker, Polly Toynbee, Ulrich Beck, Manuel Castells, Richard Sennett and George Soros. It charts the contours of contemporary capitalism, analyses the role of the business firm in the new context of innovation and competitiveness; discusses the impact of globalization, especially in finance; and considers whether the new capitalism is compatible with social cohesion and social justice. The contributors discuss capitalism both as a form of culture and as an influence on daily life, and they ask if capitalism has any viable political rivals at the turn of the millennium."--Jacket.
