Abstract

In this paper, the authors summarize the main ideas developed in their book (see the bibliography). Starting from a short analysis of the 2008 financial crash, and admitting that the current economic system is not sustainable, they propose a radical –and, in various aspects, utopian– reform of capitalism, based on a series of basic ideas: reassessment of the social function of corporations; regulation of financial derivatives; the systematic establishment of clearing houses for financial markets; the control and limitation of titrization; strengthened banking system rules; putting a fair fiscal system into practice; abandonment of rigorously dogmatic budgets as the unique answer to public debt; and the encouragement of a type of capitalism that is “green”, fair and pluralist.
