Capitalism, Alone: The Future of the System That Rules the World is a 2019 nonfiction book published by Harvard University Press by Branko Milanovic, an economist at the Stone Centre on Socioeconomic Inequality at the City University of New York.[1][2]

Themes

According to The Economist, in Capitalism, Alone Milanovic "argues that this unification of humankind under a single social system lends support to the view of history as a march towards progress."[1]

Reviews

The review in The New Yorker said that Milanovic is a "whiz at number crunching" and "has a whimsical, wide-ranging appreciation for history and culture." Milanovic had "demonstrated how the benefits of globalization had been distributed among different classes across various groups of countries" by "using a giant World Bank database of household incomes in the 1990s. In Capitalism, Alone, he has "richly detailed" the consequences of inequality.[3]

Roberto Iacono said the book was "remarkable" and "possibly the author's most comprehensive opus so far."[4]

The Wall Street Journal said that the book was a "stunted recitation of the political and economic crises afflicting Western capitalism, an unpersuasive account of China's economic model as a potential alternative and an implausibly dystopian vision of global capitalism’s future."[5]

An article published as an International Monetary Fund (IMF) book reviews, said that the "valuable, data-rich, and thoughtful" book was an "ambitious and provocative examination of the present and the future of capitalism."[6]
