    Confronting CapitalismReal Solutions for a Troubled Economic System

    Philip Kotler

    With the fall of the Berlin Wall, one economic modelemerged triumphant. Capitalismspanning a spectrumfrom laissez faire to authoritarianshapes the market econo-mies of all the wealthiest and fastest-growing nations.

    But trouble is cracking its shiny veneer. In the U.S., Europe, andJapan, economic growth has slowed down. Wealth is concen-trated in the hands of a few; natural resources are exploited forshort-term profit; and good jobs are hard to find.

    With piercing clarity, Philip Kotler explains 14 major problemsundermining capitalism, including persistent poverty, jobcreation in the face of automation, high debt burdens, the dis-proportionate influence of the wealthy on public policy, steepenvironmental costs, boom-bust economic cycles, and more.

    Amidst its dire assessment of whats ail ing us, ConfrontingCapitalism delivers a heartening message: We can turn thingsaround. Movements toward shared prosperity and a higherpurpose are reinvigorating companies large and small, whileproposals abound on government policies that offer protections

    without stagnation. Kotler identifies the best ideas, linkingprivate and public initiatives into a force for positive change.

    Combining economic history, expert insight, business lessons,and recent data, this landmark book elucidates todays criticaldilemmas and suggests solutions for returning to a healthier,

    more sustainable Capitalismthat works for all.PHILIP KOTLER (Chicago, IL) is the S.C. Johnson & Son DistinguishedProfessor of International Marketing at the Kellogg School of Man-agement, Northwestern University. Although best known as a market-ing guru, Kotler is a classically trained economist who did his Mastersstudies at the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman, thefamed Nobel laureate and free-market evangelist, before moving toMIT to pursue a Ph.D. under Paul Samuelson and Robert Solow, twoNobel Prize-winning Keynesian economists.

    A sweeping analysis of capitalisms challenges

Activities we enjoy, we repeatmaking this evidence-based system more sustainable in the long run than a regimenof intense workouts. Even if we dont sweat, we really benefit.

    failure once and for all. Complete with worksheets, tips, andtechniques, getting in shape has never been so easyor somuch fun.

    walk far. At huge protest rallies, they were joined by loyal custo-mersleaving stores empty. Suppliers and vendors stoppeddeliveriesrendering shelves bare. Politicians were forced to

    take sides. The national media and experts were stunned by theunprecedented defense of an executive. All openly challengedthe Market Basket board of directors to make things right.

    And, in the end, they prevailed.

    With its arresting firsthand accounts from the streets and execu-tive suites, We Are Market Basketis as inspiring as it is instructive.
