Reviving the Invisible Hand is an uncompromising call for a global return to a classical liberal economic order, free of interference from governments and international organizations. Arguing for a revival of the invisible hand of free international trade and global capital, eminent economist Deepak Lal vigorously defends the view that statist attempts to ameliorate the impact of markets threaten global economic progress and stability. And in an unusual move, he not only defends globalization economically, but also answers the cultural and moral objections of antiglobalizers. Taking a broad cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach, Lal argues that there are two groups opposed to globalization: cultural nationalists who oppose not capitalism but Westernization, and "new dirigistes" who oppose not Westernization but capitalism. In response, Lal contends that capitalism doesn't have to lead to Westernization, as the examples of Japan, China, and India show, and that "new dirigiste" complaints have more to do with the demoralization of their societies than with the capitalist instruments of prosperity. Lal bases his case on a historical account of the rise of capitalism and globalization in the first two liberal international economic orders: the nineteenth-century British, and the post-World War II American. Arguing that the "new dirigisme" is the thin edge of a wedge that could return the world to excessive economic intervention by states and international organizations, Lal does not shrink from controversial stands such as advocating the abolishment of these organizations and defending the existence of child labor in the Third World.

Et si nous nous trompions d'ennemi ? Et si le capitalisme et le libéralisme n'étaient pas du tout la même chose ? Et si le moyen le plus efficace pour sortir de la domination capitaliste était de se réapproprier le libéralisme ? Nous sommes persuadés de vivre la victoire du libéralisme. Pourtant, le capitalisme qui nous gouverne est profondément antilibéral. Il suffit de comparer les grands principes dont se réclame l'économie et les règles financières que nous appliquons au quotidien pour voir apparaître des contradictions flagrantes : le travail est la principale source de richesse pour les théoriciens du libéralisme, mais la "masse salariale" n'a tout simplement pas de valeur dans les comptes de nos entreprises ; le marché fonctionne sur le mode de la concentration et de la contrainte alors que la concurrence devrait justement garantir l'absence de position dominante. Quant à l'État, qui est censé corriger les inégalités les plus criantes causées par le système, il ne fait souvent qu'en amplifier les effets. Ce livre dénonce la confusion entretenue dans le débat public entre les termes de "libéralisme" et de "capitalisme" et montre en quoi ces deux systèmes s'opposent radicalement. Si nous ne voyons pas clairement cette différence, c'est que nous vivons l'économie sur le mode de l'idéologie, comme un ensemble de dogmes face auxquels nous serions impuissants. Or il est possible de définir autrement l'entreprise et la place que le travail y occupe ; les politiques publiques peuvent être orientées différemment et promouvoir de nouvelles règles ; la croissance du PIB n'est pas la seule échelle pertinente pour mesurer le succès en économie. Un essai qui démonte avec brio nos idées reçues et qui ouvre des perspectives stimulantes.

The distinguished sociologist Richard Sennett surveys major differences between earlier forms of industrial capitalism and the more global, more febrile, ever more mutable version of capitalism that is taking its place. He shows how these changes affect everyday life-how the work ethic is changing; how new beliefs about merit and talent displace old values of craftsmanship and achievement; how what Sennett calls "the specter of uselessness" haunts professionals as well as manual workers; how the boundary between consumption and politics is dissolving.In recent years, reformers of both private and public institutions have preached that flexible, global corporations provide a model of freedom for individuals, unlike the experience of fixed and static bureaucracies Max Weber once called an "iron cage." Sennett argues that, in banishing old ills, the new-economy model has created new social and emotional traumas. Only a certain kind of human being can prosper in unstable, fragmentary institutions: the culture of the new capitalism demands an ideal self oriented to the short term, focused on potential ability rather than accomplishment, willing to discount or abandon past experience. In a concluding section, Sennett examines a more durable form of self hood, and what practical initiatives could counter the pernicious effects of "reform."
