520 _a"Following a broad and challenging essay by Leonard Silk of the New York Times, such economists as Nobel Prize winners Kennth Arrow, Paul Samuelson, and Wassily Leontief, such businessmen as David Rockefeller and Thomas Carvel, and such writers as Studs Terkel and Gilbert Sorrentino offer a provocative summary of the outstanding problems of our economic system. By charting the perimeter within which capitalism, 'the moving target,' operates, Silk's essay provides an informative background, organizing the primary concerns of the contributors into a consistent body of questions that must be asked if we are to find, in capitalism, intelligent and humane answers to contemporary difficulties. What emerges, more than a controversy over the merits or demerits of capitalism, is a penetrating survey of our times - including the devastating social impact of rapid technological change, the discontent with work today, the search for new moralities and religions, a post-Vietnam assessment of capitalism and war, and a post-Watergate assessment of business and government relations." -- From the back cover.
