{"product_id":"9783030241841","title":"Tools of Law that Shape Capitalism","description":"The book provides a critical analysis of the legal mechanisms that help shape the capitalist system, and also makes proposals for deploying these tools in a different manner.Although often disguised in difficult legal jargon, in reality the main legal building blocks of the prevailing capitalist socio-economic system are simple, the most important being: (1) money; (2) the company form and (3) (neo)liberal state organization aimed at making markets as free as possible for the entrepreneurial sector. Having been used to create the socio-economic order over 2-3 centuries, the legal systems that helped shape capitalist societies around the globe have also contributed to a variety of fundamental problems that remain unaddressed by the capitalist system itself, such as ever-mounting public and private debt, pollution and climate change, an increasing polarization between rich and poor and a globally unjust fiscal order. By proposing alternative uses for the tools of law that shape capitalism, the book also makes proposals for dealing with these matters.","brand":"Koen Byttebier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47599072575806,"sku":"9783030241841","price":2761.31,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9783030241841.jpg?v=1707699105","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9783030241841","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
