Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Walk into a supermarket and try to understand what you're looking at. Thousands of products, assembled from materials across continents, delivered in exactly the right quantities-without any central planner, without anyone understanding the whole system. This is the great puzzle of capitalism, and it is a genuine puzzle.In The Capitalist Machine, Nik Matthews treats capitalism not as an ideology to defend or attack, but as a machine: an extraordinary coordination technology with inputs, feedback loops, failure modes, and unintended consequences. Drawing on Adam Smith, Hayek, Schumpeter, and modern economic insight, the book explains how markets solve the knowledge problem, multiply productivity through specialization, transmit information through prices, and select winners through competition and creative destruction.It then turns the same clear-eyed analysis on the machine's darker effects. Markets have no conscience. They externalize costs, create monopolies, turn attention into inventory, and gradually reshape the humans who operate them-transforming desire, labor, identity, and even the sense of what a good life looks like. The machine is brilliant at answering "how." It is largely silent on "why."Neither a celebration nor a demolition, The Capitalist Machine is a rigorous, accessible examination of the most powerful coordination system ever built. It shows why markets work so well, where they systematically fail, what they are doing to us while they work, and how we might decide-deliberately and democratically-what the machine should be allowed to do.For readers who want to understand capitalism without slogans: how it coordinates strangers at planetary scale, why it produces both abundance and alienation, and what happens when a system optimized for growth and engagement meets questions of purpose, meaning, and human flourishing.
