Is Capitalism Dead?
When global financial markets collapsed in 2008, many governments around the world responded by increasing spending in the
name of “stimulating” their economies. With the world seemingly embracing Keynesian economic thought and a greater role for
governments, many politicians, activists, and media commentators declared that “capitalism is dead.”
Two years after governments bailed out failing banks, auto manufacturers and other companies, they are moving to impose new
restrictions and regulations on much of the world’s financial sector.
But is capitalism truly dead? Can we ignore the past success and prosperity brought about by policies of low taxation and
minimal government? Does failure need to exist for the market to work? Is there a new or old economic system that is better
than capitalism, or will capitalism emerge stronger than ever as economies recover from the recession?
Your essay should use historical perspective, empirical evidence, and economic analysis to examine these or other questions
regarding the future of capitalism.
Prompt #2
Topic: Examine whether authoritarian capitalism is a viable alternative to its Western liberal version, to promote long
term economic growth and development.
