This is because debt has reached unprecedented levels in threatening the future of us all, and leading commentators have concluded that it is not a question of \u003cem\u003eif\u003c\/em\u003e but \u003cem\u003ewhen\u003c\/em\u003e the next banking crash occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Financial issues are compounded by the fact that the left\/right conflict through which democracy has long resolved political issues is now failing as a medium in advancing progress. This has more easily allowed raw financial power to neuter democracy and take over party systems across the political spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Meanwhile, a new middle majority is emerging in displacing the middle and working classes that once predominated in society, and this has led to the collapse of old-established party memberships and voting figures. A positive outcome of these social changes is a more open society that is not prepared to tolerate the secret world of the great corporations, or to accept the word of their politicians in allaying fears for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book presents a critique of both Neoliberalism or so-called \"privatisation\" or unconstrained free market forces, and left-leaning ideas on the management of business. In repudiating the principles of both left and right, the author, who is broadly experienced in the spheres of both industry and politics, calls for a new approach in building an economy that is fair and successful in creating a dynamic business culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is to be achieved through prioritising commercially viable productivity over the pull of rentier or usurious tendencies that limit output. These principles, based on the empirical evidence of our toughest industrial competitors in the Post-War period, are designed to unify the socio-economic interests of the emerging 90% majority. The \u003cem\u003ephony\u003c\/em\u003e economy has had its day for too long. Now is the time to promote the \u003cem\u003ereal\u003c\/em\u003e economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 132\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51796943307040,"sku":"9781911593300","price":24.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/21df7f44480bb565a0eddafc1fdd2694.webp?v=1780769727","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-crisis-of-democracy-in-the-advanced-industrial-economies-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
