Reviews
A bold and heterodox diagnosis of capitalism's illness and a bracing prescription: It's time for government to invest in basic needs, rather than encouraging us to make and buy growing mounds of junk. We will be talking about this book for years., Wandering through six shiny floors of Berlin's KaDeWe in 1999, Yamamura wondered whether slowed growth and rising spending on 'necessary luxuries' could be connected. Here, he surveys the designer apocalypse: 'ultra-easy monetary policy' and negative interest rates; rising inequality and Thomas Piketty's rentier theory; US stagnation and legislative gridlock; Japan's 'lost years' and Abenomics; and unified Germany's divided nation. But there's still time (if only just) for a 'third systemic change': increased tax revenues and reform of economic institutions, and a growth policy focused on qualitative change. A post-Brexit/Trump afterword adds bleakly that it is 'surreal that . . . we are still debating pro-investment fiscal and monetary policies in the developed economies.', An accessible and clearly written book for anyone with an interest in economics who is wondering 'where next' for government economic policy., This book is right on time: the leading post-WWII economies are losing economic momentum and facing threats to their democratic institutions. Yamamura demands a prompt systemic change of the capitalist system in order to revitalize growth and secure democracy., In our world of 'necessary luxuries,' incorrect investment incentives, disparate and worsening income distribution, this cogent, important, skeptical, provocative analysis proposes what must change in the United States, Japan, Germany, and elsewhere., A timely and urgent read given that western economies are at a political and environmental tipping point., A compelling argument for a fairer, smarter form of capitalism which prioritizes spending on public goods like health, infrastructure, education, and the environment. At a time of sharpening political and economic divides, this book is a must read.
