As we struggle with the legacy of the crisis and with the prospect of accelerating environmental degradation, it is time to ask not what we can do for capitalism but what capitalism can do for us, as citizens of a democratic society. In Civic Capitalism, Colin Hay and Anthony Payne build on their influential analysis of the crisis of the Anglo-liberal growth model to set out a coherent account of the steps required to build an alternative that is more sustainable socially, economically and environmentally.They argue that it is time to move on from the Anglo-liberal model of capitalism whose f

Since first published in 2002, After Capitalism has offered students and political activists alike a coherent vision of a viable and desirable alternative to capitalism. David Schweickart calls this system Economic Democracy, a successor-system to capitalism which preserves the efficiency strengths of a market economy while extending democracy to the workplace and to the structures of investment finance. In the second edition, Schweickart recognizes that increased globalization of companies has created greater than ever interdependent economies and the debate about the desirability of entrepreneurship is escalating. The new edition includes a new preface, completely updated data, reorganized chapters, and new sections on the economic instability of capitalism, the current economic crisis, and China. Drawing on both theoretical and empirical research, Schweickart shows how and why this model is efficient, dynamic, and applicable in the world today.

Monopoly describes a concentration of market share where competition is limited or nonexistent. The term "monopoly capitalism" is used to describe an aspect or stage of capitalism in which monopoly control is widespread and explicit, though the ideological fiction of free markets and competition is still maintained in public discourse. V. I. Lenin observed that it was financial sector gains from colonization that drives the economics of imperialism which is in turn crucial to understanding modern warfare and politics. Financial and monopoly capitalism has involved banks, but technical control is located in stockbrokers (who control trusts) and individual large-scale entrepreneurs (who control cartels). The identification of monopoly capitalism on a worldwide scale also led to the core–periphery model of political and economic power. While it is often thought that monopoly signals a move away from competition, it is more accurate to say that monopolies intensify cooperation among a ruling class and intensify competition between classes.
