What kind of capitalism works best--for everyone, everywhere? In Debating Capitalism, Richard J. Arneson and Jason Brennan offer two compelling and competing visions of a just market society. Brennan defends a freer, more global capitalism that lifts billions out of poverty; Arneson argues for pro-poor social democracy, locally and globally. They agree that markets matter but disagree on how much we should intervene, and for whose benefit. Debating Capitalism is a clear, engaging guide to the moral and practical trade-offs at the heart of today's biggest economic questions.
