In early 2009, many economists, financiers, and media pundits were confidently predicting the end of the American-led capitalism that has shaped history and economics for the past 100 years.

Argues that the economic recession of 2008-2009 forced a change in the philosophy of global capitalism, and will redirect the fundamentals of the capitalist system to create a new, successful, productive capitalism. |
