A “REPORT” ON CRISES AND ON TODAY’S CAPITALISM

The Seven Deadly Sins of Capitalism, by e.com founder Mike Guillaume

Booms and busts are part of capitalism. But bubbles burst and crises repeat more often and much faster than in the past.

One thing is certain: for all its virtues, and there are still some, the market no longer has all the answers to all the problems.

Do capitalism's new sins outweigh its old virtues? Wearing two hats -financial reporting specialist and economist- e.com's founder and manager Mike Guillaume has got good vantage points for watching companies, economies and economics work (or not). He asks questions -from small to essential- and tries to give answers in a short and well-documented book.

Read chapters of Mike Guillaume's book and much more -from him and other minds- about the economics, capitalism, and alternative ways to "reinvent free markets for welfare" on http://www.mikeconomics.net
