Description:


An incisive history of the changing relationship between democracy and capitalism

The twentieth century witnessed the triumph of democratic capitalism in the industrialised West, with widespread popular support for both free markets and representative elections. Today, that political consensus appears to be breaking down, disrupted by polarization and income inequality, widespread dissatisfaction with democratic institutions, and insurgent populism. Tracing the history of democratic capitalism over the past two centuries, Carles Boix explains how we got here — and where we could be headed.

Boix looks at three defining stages of capitalism, each originating in a distinct time and place with its unique political challenges, structure of production and employment, and relationship with democracy. He begins in nineteenth-century Manchester, where factory owners employed unskilled labourers at low wages, generating rampant inequality and a restrictive electoral franchise. He then moves to Detroit in the early 1900s, where the invention of the modern assembly line shifted labor demand to skilled blue-collar workers. Boix shows how growing wages, declining inequality, and an expanding middle class enabled democratic capitalism to flourish. Today, however, the information revolution that began in Silicon Valley in the 1970s is benefitting the highly educated at the expense of the traditional working class, jobs are going offshore, and inequality has risen sharply, making many wonder whether democracy and capitalism are still compatible.

Must have!
Color: Gold
Best Paper Towel Holder ever! Heavy enough that you can grab a paper towel with one hand without ‘holding’ the holder itself. The spray bottle is icing on the cake. Highly recommend!

Convenient All-in-One Paper Towel Holder with Built-In Spray Bottle
Color: Stainless Steel
This paper towel holder works exactly as advertised and has been a useful addition to my countertop. The built-in spray bottle is especially convenient—it keeps cleaning solution right where you need it, so you can spray and wipe in one quick step without grabbing another bottle. The one-handed tearing feature works well, and the spring-loaded arm provides just the right amount of resistance to help prevent the roll from unraveling. The weighted base also keeps it stable while pulling sheets, which makes it feel sturdy during use. The stainless steel design looks nice and feels well made, and overall it seems durable enough for everyday kitchen use. The only downside is the price, which feels a bit steep compared to basic paper towel holders. However, the added spray function and convenience do add value if you clean frequently. Overall, it’s a practical and well-designed kitchen accessory that does make everyday cleanup easier.
