'' A Capitalism for the People: Recapturing the Lost Genius of American Prosperity '' is a non-fiction book by Italian–American writer and economist Luigi Zingales, known as well for servicing as a Professor of Entrepreneurship and Finance at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. He also authored the book ''Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists'' in 2003. In '' A Capitalism for the People'', Zingales writes that he wants to rescue markets and competition from the twin forces that threaten them: over-regulation on the political left and, on the right, a pro-business (as opposed to pro-market) ideology.〔(True Capitalists Are Pro-Market, Not Pro-Business – Bloomberg )〕 He sees the great threat to the U.S. economy as being crony capitalism as he lays out what he sees as persuasive evidence, and he suggests to channel populist anger, reverse the movement toward a crony system, reduce the opportunities for rent seeking, and increase the opportunities for competition. He advocates reforms such as greater transparency of economic data as well as restrictions on lobbying.〔(A Capitalism for the People )〕〔("A Capitalism For The People" | Chicago Tonight | WTTW )〕 Zingales has answered questions on his book during the ''Business Daily'' programme on World Service BBC.〔(BBC World Service – Business Daily, Remedies for capitalism's malaise )〕 He has presented his book at the London School of Economics where he warned that the U.S. economy risks deteriorating into a Berlusconi-style crony-capitalist system – pro-business rather than pro-market, and run by corrupt politicians who are more concerned with lining the pockets of the connected elite than with improving opportunity for the people.〔(A Capitalism for the People – Video and audio – News and media – Home )〕 The book has received positive reviews from a variety of publications such as ''EconTalk'', ''Publishers Weekly'', and ''The Sacramento Bee''.〔〔 ==Background and contents== Zingales writes that the U.S. government's role in the economy has rose significantly, with between 1900 and 2005 the fraction of GDP controlled by state hiking up eightfold, and he states that big businesses have used this to their advantage. He elaborates the distinction of how polls state that most Americans support a free market system in principle but oppose business cronyism in practice, and he notes that, in U.S. history, democracy preceded industrialization while access to a broad frontier allowed for personal initiative. Thus, he calls for mass populist social agitation to promote serious market competition, advocating reforms such as restraining lobbying.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Capitalism for the People」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
