From hedge funds to arbitrage to Roth IRAs to globalization, capitalism and all that it entails is often complicated, jargon-prone, and intimidating. Today, as the triumphs, excesses, and failures of free market capitalism and globalization continue to hold sway over the daily news and our daily lives, this essential reference offers a compendium of capitalism's many aspects - from the mechanisms and institutions that uphold it to the terms and laws that define it. Edited by Gretchen Morgenson, a leading business journalist at the New York Times, The Capitalist's Bible will be one-stop shopping for readers who want to learn the basic concepts of the economic system that underwrites the American (and increasingly, world) economy. It will include enlightening sections like: Capitalism 101, Capitalist Chronology, People Every Capitalist Should Know, Capitalist Successes, Disasters in Capitalism, Must-Reading for Capitalists, and Capitalist Glossary. The Capitalist's Bible will also feature a preface by Morgenson and an introduction by Robert J. Samuelson, a columnist for Newsweek and the Washington Post and the author of The Good Life and Its Discontents: The American Dream in the Age of Entitlement (1995) and Untruth: Why the Conventional Wisdom is (Almost Always) Wrong (2001).
