In Defense of Capitalism

The book tackles ten prevalent criticisms of capitalism, including claims that it causes poverty, inequality, and environmental harm. Rainer Zitelmann methodically addresses each objection, using historical evidence to argue that the failures attributed to capitalism stem from anti-capitalist policies. Additionally, it presents insights from a unique Ipsos MORI poll conducted across 21 countries, shedding light on global perceptions of capitalism in regions such as Europe, the USA, Latin America, and Asia.
