Amidst its dire assessment of what's ailing us, Confronting Capitalism delivers a heartening message: We can turn thingsaround. Movements toward shared prosperity and a higher purpose 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

The book draws on history, philosophy, psychology, and biology as well economics, law, and finance to describe what has gone wrong, what needs to change, and how to fix it. It sets out the big challenges that capitalism must address and how it should set about doing that.

"Capitalism offers greater prosperity and opportunity for everyone, while socialism, unnecessary interventionism, and other choices inevitably fail. But capitalism is quickly falling out of favor with the middle class in the Western world. Fortunately, it can be fixed. The next decades will present numerous challenges: exponentially accelerating technology and use of robots, an aging population, repressive taxation, and the sustainability of education and health care costs--to name just a few. Freedom or Equality addresses those challenges while presenting a fresh examination of Social Capitalism--a moderate option between extreme solutions of all sorts that can deliver superior growth and prosperity worldwide." - Jacket
