Abstract

The current capitalist economy must address the acquisition of information necessary to predict the changes to the physiognomy of capitalism over the coming years (Gore & Blood, 2008). Critically, capitalism has proven itself to be adaptable and flexible to the specific needs of particular countries (Castles, 2004). The current dominant debate concerns how capitalism works and not whether it is necessary to choose between capitalism and other systems. In this chapter, we seek to understand the sustainability phenomena (economic, social, and environmental) that influence the economy and can modify capitalism, particularly by heading in new directions. More precisely, our attention will be directed first towards the increasing emphasis on sustainability and towards an understanding of how and in which dimension this phenomenon will create a new capitalism. Second, we will examine whether it will be possible to attain sustainable capitalism by 2020.
