Beckertrsquo;s breathtaking, erudite new book illuminates what is distinctive about modern capitalism. Traditional societies were oriented to the past and the never-ending replication of the social order―today everything we do is based on imagined futures comprising fictions about how the worldConsumers, investors, and corporations orient their activities toward a future that contains opportunities and risks. How do these actors assess uncertainty? Jens Beckert adds a new chapter to the theory of capitalism by showing how fictional expectations drive modern economiesmdash;or throw them into crisis when imagined futures fail to materialize.
