No other economic system has led to such dynamism, and capitalism now dominates the globe with no major competing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time, capitalism has accelerated inequality, environmental degradation, and financial volatility. While risks to the planet grow, modern authoritarianism again raises the specter of conflict fueled by capitalist industrial production.
