The capitalist model was developed in the 19th century and recent events have shown the difficulties of adapting this to the demands of the 21st century, in which human and social capital are of far greater importance than physical capital. In Going off the Rails, John Plender shows how corporate scandals, inflated boardroom pay, corporate governance disciplines and outmoded accountancy conventions have stretched the Anglo-American model to its limit and what the effects of this might be on globalisation and the capital markets.

Store description
Shadow Books sells all manner of second-hand, out of print and rare books; but not
popular paperback fiction. If we have a speciality, it is a broad academic one
embracing the humanities fields of history, politics, classic literature, art
history, media, history of ideas. We pride ourselves on setting our prices -
quality for quality - at the low end of the range, on the scrupulous way we
describe our books, on the rapidity with which we dispatch orders, and on our
prompt and friendly response to customers and their queries.
