Summary of Paul Collier's The Future of Capitalism

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The divide between the well-educated and less-educated has become a new source of anxiety and anger in our societies. The less-educated, both in the metropolis and nationally, are in crisis, while the well-educated are forging themselves into a new ruling class.

#2 The lack of a purposeful life is evident in the falling life expectancy of whites who have not been to college in America. The syndrome is also widespread and in the most broken cities, such as Blackpool, life expectancy is falling.

#3 The last time capitalism derailed, in the 1930s, the same thing happened. The emerging dangers were crystallized by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World (1932) and George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949).

#4 There are three awful rifts that have opened in our societies, and they are not just problems that I study: they are the tragedies that have defined my life purpose. I want to change this situation.
