The Nature and Logic of Capitalism by Robert L Heilbroner
In search of an answer, The Nature and Logic of Capitalism takes us on a far-ranging exploration to the unconscious levels of the human psyche and the roots of domination and submission; to the organization of primitive society and the origins of wealth; to the sources of profit and the conception of a regime of capital; to the interplay of relatively slow-changing institutions and the powerful force of the accumulation of wealth. By the end of this tour we have grappled not only with ideas of Adam Smith and Karl Marx but with Freud and modern anthropologists as well. And we are far closer to understanding capitalism in our time, its possibilities and limits.
Robert L. Heilbroner (1919-2005) was Norman Thomas Professor of Economics at the New School for Social Research and author of The Worldly Philosophers and many other books.
