Jonathon Porritt defends on this book the view that capitalism may provide the best solution to poverty and global environmental degradation, though his solution requires reshaping capitalism. In this revised and updated edition, Porritt extends his controversial arguments by providing fresh evidence and suggesting new actions. New content includes in-depth coverage of the USA, with case studies examining the role of huge American corporations such as Wal-Mart and General Electric, plus a close look at China and the global impact this economic giant may have in the twenty-first century.
