Unfinished Business: a New Story for Era of Human Flourishing

We are stuck between two stories about capitalism-a story of exploitation and a story of liberation. But neither story on its own can propel us forward to a new conception of what our economy can be and who it can be for.So many of us are convinced that this is what life in "late-stage capitalism" is destined to be-and that if we just wait something better is coming. But what if the frustration so many people feel isn't a death rattle? What if it's a growing pain?Unfinished Business makes a bracing case that capitalism isn't dying-it's unfinished. The real economic story of our time isn't decline. It's the gap between the prosperous, vibrant, just economy that's possible and the corporatist one we've inherited.Drawing on a wide range of thinkers-from Jonathan Haidt and Virginia Postrel to Peter Drucker and David Smick-Michael Megalli offers a different way to see, name, and act on the world we actually live in. He shows why the dominant stories about capitalism keep failing us, why young people in particular are right to be frustrated, and why the work of building something better is more open and more urgent than we've been led to believe.This is a book for anyone who senses that our economic future isn't fixed-and that the next chapter is ours to write.
