Capitalists antagonizing capitalism
Bottos, K. (2012). Saving Capitalism from Capitalists. Public Finance Quarterly, 1, 140-147.
Points out how insiders wield immense powers despite the endeavors of their countries towards passing legislation that would make financing of parties a clear and transparent process. ‘‘Government protection is not only needed by employees dreading unemployment, who are the hardest hit by globalism, but, first and foremost by the capitalists themselves, who are, so to speak, already insiders,’’ Bottos charges (page 140 paragraph 4).
Hirschler, V. (2003). Transition. The Newsletter About Reforming Economies- World Bank, 14, 7-9
‘‘Rajan and Zingales (2003) allude to the immense influence that oligarchs have, to the point of bribing legislators in a bid to have them pass laws that they deem favorable to them. They adduce that this is in a bid to counter President Vladimir Putin’s efforts towards raising revenues. The president is trying to achieve this through the threatening expropriation due to the privatization system deemed illegal.

’’ ‘What we are witnessing now is a battle between oligarchs and the state over who will control the huge profits generated by natural resources extraction. (Page 3, paragraph 5).

Cautions against the perils that might accompany passing of political antitrust laws that mainly target capitalists who wield influence (paragraph 3, page 342).
Policies that render capitalism its enemy
Odland, S. (2017). Saving Capitalism from Itself: Conversations. The Corporate Board, 32.
Odland opines to a reduction in long-term investment resulting in dwindling levels of innovation and foreseeable growth. ‘‘The board needs to drive a balance on this, and help give companies cover so that short-term activists will not drive for strategies that would lead to the destruction of the company,’’ (Question 8). He advises the board to focus on policies designed to value in the long term and emphasizes on priorities needing constant monitoring and balancing. (Page 32)
Reinert, E., & Daastol, M.A. (1999). Production Capitalism vs. Financial Capitalism – Symbiosis and Parasitism. An Evolutionary Perspective: Prolegomenon and Bibliography. SUM- Centre for Development and Environment. Working Paper.
According to Reinert & Daastol, Regulations’ sole purpose should aim at an upturn in the ‘‘efficiency of the whole of the socio-political system’’ (Paragraph 19). They argue that redirecting capital away from short-term in favor of long-term investment yields an upward surge in production efficiency. They go ahead and define capitalism as a marketplace where there is the willful determination of prices and the production means being in private hands. In their view, examples towards promoting the trend include observation of people’s rights, the nurturing of the democratic system should be continuous, and there should be the separation of powers.

This study sheds light on a model for maximization of productive capacity through coupling it to social needs and deployment of social mechanisms that will result in coordination between the two.
Keeping Capitalism’s head above the water
Alison, G. (2015). Robert Reich’s Saving Capitalism. New York Times (Online), New York: New York Times Company. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/15/books/review/robert-reichs-savingcapitalism.html?partner=BloombergIn an informed critique, Alison writes, ‘‘Horatio Algiers Creed remains strong,’’ (Paragraph 4) this is a clarion call towards hard work being the catalyst for success. Furthermore, an individual’s will and abilities give impetus to one making great strides in their welfares.
Community Annotated Bibliography. (2017). Charter for Compassion. https://charterforcompassion.org/community-annotated-bibliography‘‘Gar Alvarez (2008) ‘America beyond capitalism,’ (Paragraph 1) in his words is like going into a battlefield where the foundations for delinking from a skewed system, that has failed to uphold the core American values touching on equality, liberty and worthwhile democracy will be laid.’’
Fullerton, J. 2015. Regenerative Capitalism: How Universal Principles and Patterns Will Shape Our Economy, Capital Institute, 1-117.
He vouches for the development of a holistic view of the world, in a bid to preserve the prosperity, and survival of Americans; he calls it regenerative capitalism (paragraph 1, page 105).
