Corporatism Is Not Capitalism — And America Needs to Know the Difference
For professionals, small business owners, and anyone who's sensed something is broken about the modern economy but couldn't quite name it.
Edified Capitalists Unravel the Flaws of Capitalism draws a hard line between two systems that get treated as one:
Free-market capitalism — competition, small business, and open opportunity
Corporatism — wealth concentration, corporate personhood, and political capture dressed up as "the free market"
Inside, you'll find:
The mechanisms that turned competitive capitalism into modern corporatism
Data on the decline in labor's share of national income since the 1990s, and what it means for wages tied to productivity
A proposed alternative — the "Dual Entity Collaborative Business Enterprise System" — a model for letting workers become owners, not just employees
Written by a retired professor who founded the Edified Capitalist Institute to give this thinking a home. Proceeds from every copy go toward building the platform described in the book.
