Very detailed look at the conditions that capitalist consolidation created that caused the 07-08 financial crisis. Particularly, he examines how capitalism (as influenced by Hayek) actively suppresses and undermines democratic control to make global markets free from regulation or oversight. Streeck writes with a level of clarity that should make this an engaging read for anyone somewhat versed in economic theory and history. The book takes a bit to get going (about 60 pages or so), so I would recommend that readers skip the long preface for the second edition, and go back to read it after you have finished the main text.
