Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book questions the traditional assumption that competition is essential for economic growth, discussing the hidden costs of competition on individuals and society as a whole. Building on the theories that industrial capitalism conceals economic waste and inefficiency, the author…argues that when rivals compete for advantage, costs are imposed on society that are not reflected in market prices. Competing firms spend heavily on advertising and marketing, leading to inflated valuations of goods and services. The pursuit of sales at any cost can result in lower-quality products, and the workforce can be forced to endure poor working conditions and low pay, as well as facing the pressure of being constantly under threat of redundancy. The text proposes alternative paradigms, urging for a transformation to forms of cooperative distribution and production. The author concludes that moving away from competition can lead to a more sustainable, just, and ultimately prosperous society.
