Neoliberalism or neo-liberalism[1] is the 20th-century resurgence of 19th-
century ideas associated with economic liberalism and free-market capitalism
.[2]:7[3] It is generally associated with policies of economic
liberalization, including privatization, deregulation, globalization, free
trade, austerity, and reductions in government spending in order to increase
the role of the private sector in the economy and society;[4][12] however,
the defining features of neoliberalism in both thought and practice have
been the subject of substantial scholarly debate.[13][14] In policymaking,
neoliberalism was part of a paradigm shift that followed the failure of the
Keynesian consensus in economics to address the stagflation of the 1970s.
Progressive capitalism is an approach to capitalism that seeks to improve
the current neoliberal American capitalism that emerged in 1980.[1]
Progressive capitalism aims to improve economic results through four
defining beliefs, namely the vital role businesses play in the economy by
creating jobs, fostering innovation, enabling voluntary exchange, and
providing competitive goods and services; the recognition of the important
role public goods, public institutions, public services and public
infrastructure play in supporting businesses including: research, schools,
health care, social insurance, taxation, labor law and regulation of markets
; the need for the state to be involved in design and oversight of the
playing field; and the integration of social justice, stewardship of natural
resources and responsibility to all major stakeholders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Progressive Capitalism, Why it's Key
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019
Verified Purchase
We are facing global challenges - from migration to climate change, the
flooding of coastal cities and the extinction of species. Challenges that
require radical change in our society if humanity is to survive. We all know
this, climate deniers notwithstanding. It's already too late to avoid the
catastrophe, but with the right policies we can hope to contain the damage
and save most of the planet for our children, what the UN calls "future
generations".
In fact, that is the right term and the future matters: That is what
Stiglitz's latest book is all about. It's a diagnosis of our problems but
more importantly, it proposes a solution: Progressive capitalism. A solution
adapted to America, its culture and traditions.
The point is not to turn the United States into Denmark. Stiglitz knows that
would never work. So he has an alternative, better solution. There's not
space here to go over what progressive capitalism is, do read the book, you'
ll see why it's key for our salvation. I can guarantee that you won't waste
your time and it will give you hope that in fact, something concrete can be
done to change the course of History - as it did for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stiglitz argues that we need to become more like Sweden
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2019
Verified Purchase
Joseph Stiglitz is a Nobel prize-winning economist and a professor at
Columbia University. His ideas are similar to those proposed by Elizabeth
Warren and Bernie Sanders. Stiglitz has argued for years that our economic
and political systems are rigged against the middle class and in favor of
the wealthy. He wants to reduce inequality. Stiglitz explains what has gone
wrong and how to fix it. Essentially, he believes America has lost its way
and it needs to become more like a European social democratic country, like
Germany or Sweden. He hopes to “save capitalism from itself.” Stiglitz is
a Keynesian who disapproves of market fundamentalism. He argues in favor of
more government intervention and a fairer society, but he doesn’t want to
sacrifice economic growth. The book is an enjoyable read.
The first half of the book examines trends he believes that have caused the
problems: monopoly power, mishandled globalization, and poor financial
regulation. He argues that lobby groups control regulation and twist it for
their own purposes and trade deals like NAFTA are stacked against workers.
He believes that the way globalization has been managed has resulted in
American workers competing with low-skilled and low-wage workers in
developing countries. This has reduced their bargaining power. He argues
that the media cannot be trusted and has encouraged ordinary people to vote
for politicians who don’t represent their best interests. He believes that
democracy risks becoming nothing more than a sham because of gerrymandering
and the ability of the rich and powerful to buy the votes of politicians.
Stiglitz recalls his childhood in the industrial city of Gary, Indiana. When
he returned to Gary for his 55th high school reunion in 2015, he was
dismayed by the decrepit state of his hometown and the hard times endured by
many of his former classmates. He believes that the massive income
inequality in the U.S. is a serious problem that must be addressed. He
complains about too-big-to-fail banks placing greed above economic growth
and government initiatives favoring globalization without protecting
American laborers.
The second part sets out what to do next. Stiglitz argues for “progressive
capitalism.” He wants to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their
excesses, making sure that markets work for the people, not the other way
around. He wants tough antitrust action to force increased competition; much
tougher financial regulation to reduce the scale and the power of big
financial institutions; new carbon taxes to address climate change and taxes
on land. He fears that workers are not being properly looked after and the
majority are being exploited by the minority. ......
