Can Democracy and Capitalism Be Reconciled?

In Can Capitalism and Democracy Be Reconciled?, Sidney M. Milkis and Scott C. Miller have gathered a truly eminent cast of contributors to provide a multidisciplinary examination of the intersection of capitalist economic systems and democratic societies across time and space. Featuring twenty-four essays from scholars across nine different academic fields, the volume interrogates the ideas, history, and policy behind these two principal elements of liberal society. The volume begins with an introduction that explores the vibrant historical debate over whether democracy and capitalism can and should coexist in America and further analyzes the places where democracy and capitalism thrive and diverge and the systemic adjustments needed to sustain democratic capitalism in the future.
