Liberal, democratic capitalism as the end of history? Not necessarily. After Capitalism argues that there are forces developing in the world today that might constitute a counterproject to the project of globalizing capitalism. At present, however, this movement lacks a coherent vision of a viable, desirable alternative. After Capitalism attempts to fill this lacuna by articulating, as a successor-system to capitalism, a model of Economic Democracy, an economic system that preserves the efficiency strengths of a market economy, while extending democracy to the workplace and to the structures of investment finance.This work argues that there are forces developing that might constitute a counterproject to the project of globalizing capitalism.
