It is just twenty-five years since Fukuyama's claim, taken seriously at the time, that capitalism and liberal democracy had won, and represented the endpoint of cultural advance. Instead, after a decade of stagnation marked by extremes of wealth and opportunity, it seems that capitalism, far from being victorious, is fundamentally broken.

Is capitalism in need of reform, or is a more profound change required to create a fairer and more equal society? Or, despite its flaws, is capitalism still the only reliable driver of improved living standards from London to Beijing?
