对资本主义崛起为全球主导地位的挑衅性描述，以及随着不同的资本主义模式争夺世界领导地位，对未来可能出现的情况进行了展望。

我们现在都是资本家。

在人类历史上第一次，全球被一个经济体系所支配。

在《孤独的资本主义》中，著名经济学家Branko Milanovic解释了自封建主义和后来的共产主义时代以来这一决定性的历史转变的原因。

他对资本主义的种类进行了调查，并问道。

现在资本主义是城里唯一的游戏，一个更公平的世界的前景如何？

他的结论是清醒的，但不是宿命论。

资本主义有很多错误，但也有很多正确的地方，它不会消失。我们的任务是改善它。

米拉诺维奇认为，资本主义取得了胜利，因为它是有效的。

它带来了繁荣，满足了人类对自主权的渴望。

但它也付出了道德代价，促使我们把物质上的成功当作最终目标。

而且它没有提供稳定的保证。

在西方，自由资本主义在不平等和资本主义过度的压力下摇摇欲坠。

这种模式现在与政治资本主义争夺人心，以中国为例，许多人声称中国的效率更高，但更容易受到腐败的影响，当增长缓慢时，社会动荡。

至于全球南方的经济问题，米拉诺维奇为大规模移民提供了一个创造性的计划，尽管有争议。

展望未来，他驳斥了那些宣称某种单一结果是不可避免的预言家，无论是全球繁荣还是机器人驱动的大规模失业。

资本主义是一个有风险的系统。

但它也是一个人类系统。

我们的选择，以及我们如何清楚地看到它们，将决定它如何为我们服务。

A provocative account of capitalism’s rise to global dominance and, as different models of capitalism vie for world leadership, a look into what the future may hold.

We are all capitalists now. For the first time in human history, the globe is dominated by one economic system. In Capitalism, Alone, leading economist Branko Milanovic explains the reasons for this decisive historical shift since the days of feudalism and, later, communism. Surveying the varieties of capitalism, he asks: What are the prospects for a fairer world now that capitalism is the only game in town? His conclusions are sobering, but not fatalistic. Capitalism gets much wrong, but also much right―and it is not going anywhere. Our task is to improve it.

Milanovic argues that capitalism has triumphed because it works. It delivers prosperity and gratifies human desires for autonomy. But it comes with a moral price, pushing us to treat material success as the ultimate goal. And it offers no guarantee of stability. In the West, liberal capitalism creaks under the strains of inequality and capitalist excess. That model now fights for hearts and minds with political capitalism, exemplified by China, which many claim is more efficient, but which is more vulnerable to corruption and, when growth is slow, social unrest. As for the economic problems of the Global South, Milanovic offers a creative, if controversial, plan for large-scale migration. Looking to the future, he dismisses prophets who proclaim some single outcome to be inevitable, whether worldwide prosperity or robot-driven mass unemployment. Capitalism is a risky system. But it is a human system. Our choices, and how clearly we see them, will determine how it serves us.
