Opis

Based on a timely reassessment of the classic arguments of Schumpeter, Weber, Hayek, Popper and Parsons, this book challenges current orthodoxies about varieties of capitalism and relativist recipes for economic growth. It criticises culturalist and incremental viewpoints and calls for prosperous open societies.
