Future of capitalism

This week, the FT is having a debate on the Future of Capitalism. Here's a sobering excerpt from Martin Wolf's opening salvo, titled "Seeds of its own destruction:"

"These changes will endanger the ability of the world not just to manage the global economy but also to cope with strategic challenges: fragile states, terrorism, climate change and the rise of new great powers. At the extreme, the integration of the global economy on which almost everybody now depends might be reversed. Globalisation is a choice. The integrated economy of the decades before the first world war collapsed. It could do so again."
