CAPITALISM: A CRIME STORY
Book ID/图书代码： 01808019C00001
English Summary/英文概要： A mugger to a stranger, Give me your wallet or I will beat you to pulp! It is a crime.
An employer says to a worker: Adding lung-saving ventilation will reduce my profit. Give me back some of your wages and I will let you keep your lungs! This is not a crime.
Our assumptions about the world condition us to see these situations as legally different from one another. But what if we, the critics of corporate capitalism, instead insisted on taking the spirit of law, rather than its letter, seriously? It would then be possible to describe many of the daily practices of capitalists and their corporations as criminal in nature, even if not always criminal by the letter and formality of law.
In Capitalism: A Crime Story, Harry Glasbeek makes the case that if the rules and doctrines of liberal law were applied as they should be according to law s own pronouncements and methodology, corporate capitalism would be much harder to defend.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个抢劫犯对一个陌生人说，把你的钱包给我，否则我就揍扁你!这是犯罪。
一位雇主对一位工人说:增加保护肺的通风设备会减少我的利润。把你的一部分工资还给我，我就让你活下去!这不是犯罪。
我们对世界的假设使我们认为这些情况在法律上彼此不同。但是，如果我们这些企业资本主义的批评者，坚持要认真对待法律的精神，而不是它的文字，会怎么样呢？这样，就有可能把资本家及其公司的许多日常行为定性为犯罪，即使从法律的字面和形式上看并不总是犯罪。
在《资本主义:犯罪故事》一书中，哈利•格莱斯比克指出，如果按照法律自身的声明和方法，恰当地应用自由主义的规则和原则，企业资本主义就会变得更加难以捍卫。（WYL）
Awards/获奖情况：“《资本主义:犯罪故事》通俗易懂，切中要点，尤其擅长剖析那些将公司在伤害工人和社区方面的法律责任最小化的论点。有效地驳斥了企业投资是对公众福祉不可避免的贡献的观点。虽然这本书还包括批判性的企业权力主导的公共决策，（通过游说和干预形式犯罪故事年代，）真正的力量是认为企业背后的推理活动，在大多数情况下，违反各种人类行为准则和道德规范，以微不足道的价格做生意的。” ——加拿丁•维
“面对企业的贪婪、腐败和犯罪行为，哈里•格莱斯比克一直是一位无畏的、令人生畏的公共利益斗士。这本强大的、易读的书证明了这个问题不是由几个坏苹果引起的:它被编入了一个系统的DNA，这个系统在人类生活中不断积累。——吉姆•斯坦福，麦克马斯特大学经济学家
“哈里•格莱斯比克以辩论的方式剥去了公司在追求私人利益时受到的层层法律保护，揭露了那些挑战公司法律特权的个人和机构受到的伤害。随着他对资本主义如何嵌入法律的揭示，格莱斯比克提供了一个路线图来扭转法律体系内的不平衡。——Margaret Wilson,玛格丽特•威尔逊， DCNZM，怀卡托大学法律与公共政策教授
Capitalism: A Crime Story is readable and to-the-point, and particularly good at dissecting the arguments used to minimize the legal responsibilities of corporations in causing harm to workers and communities. [Glasbeek] effectively debunks the notion that corporate investment is an inevitable contribution to public well being. While the book also includes a critique of the way corporate power dominates public decision-making through the use of lobbying and more less palatable forms of intervention Crime Story s real strength is in debunking the reasoning underlying the notion that corporate activity that violates various human decency and moral norms are in most cases minor inconveniences that are part of the price of doing business. --Canadian Dimension
Harry Glasbeek has been a fearless, daunting crusader for the public interest in the face of corporate greed, corruption, and criminality. This powerful, readable book proves the problem does not originate with a few bad apples: it s programmed into the DNA of a system that priveleges accumulation over human life. --Jim Stanford, economist, McMaster University
Harry Glasbeek forensically strips away the layers of legal protection accorded to corporations in their pursuit of private profit to reveal the harm inflicted on individuals and institutions that challenge corporate legal privilege. With his revelation of how capitalism has become embedded in law Glasbeek provides a road map to reverse the imbalance within the legal system. --Margaret Wilson, DCNZM, professor of law and public policy, University of Waikato
