Capitalism by Eamonn Butler
Many criticisms of capitalism are based on common misunderstandings of it. Written in plain English and assuming no prior knowledge of economics, this book helps overcome these confusions. It explains the nature of capital its creation, preservation and destruction and the roles played by markets and property rights in making capitalism work.
