The Global Economic Crisis has catalysed debates about the merits
of capitalism as a system for organising production,
distribution, and exchange. Political elites have claimed that
Capitalism is not a fundamentally pernicious or crisis prone
system, and can be successfully reformed if the right set of
policies are found. Conversely many have argued a wholesale
change of attitude towards the status and creation of wealth in
contemporary society is required if a cycle of crises are to be
prevented in the future.

In Capitalism and Its Alternatives, Chris Rogers provides a
critical introduction to theories of capitalism, the forms of its
crises in historical and contemporary contexts, as well as
reflecting on the practice of anti-capitalism and the ways that
economic and social relations are shaped, reshaped and resisted.
Crucially, the book puts forward two key questions: What
alternatives to capitalism exist? And by what processes and
through what institutions might they be achieved?
