Capitalism and Society (supported by a generous grant from the Kauffman Foundation) provides an outlet for scholarly work that advances the goals of the Center whose length, subject matter, approach, etc. might preclude publication in a standard journal. We want to stimulate and provide a forum for discourse for ideas that may not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Accordingly we will publish papers along with the commentary of a reviewer, leaving room for "agreement to disagree."

About this journal

Unique among economics journals, Capitalism and Society (CAS) focuses on what makes capitalism dynamic: innovation and entrepreneurship. Topics include ownership, corporate control, entry and venture capital, the discovery process, and commercial performance. While these topics have been studied from a micro-perspective, Capitalism and Society breaks new ground as the only mainstream forum that discusses how capitalism works from a broad social science perspective. Editors of this peer-reviewed journal include some of the best-known and most widely-published scholars in the fields of economics, business, law, and sociology, such as Jeffrey Sachs, Saskia Sassen, Richard Nelson, Robert Shiller, and Nobel Prize winning economists Joseph Stiglitz, Amartya Sen, and Edmund Phelps.

Capitalism and Society is indexed in EconLit, Intute, RePEc, Sociological Abstracts, and Worldwide Political Science Abstracts.
