Description:


An incisive history of the changing relationship between democracy and capitalism

The twentieth century witnessed the triumph of democratic capitalism in the industrialised West, with widespread popular support for both free markets and representative elections. Today, that political consensus appears to be breaking down, disrupted by polarization and income inequality, widespread dissatisfaction with democratic institutions, and insurgent populism. Tracing the history of democratic capitalism over the past two centuries, Carles Boix explains how we got here — and where we could be headed.

Boix looks at three defining stages of capitalism, each originating in a distinct time and place with its unique political challenges, structure of production and employment, and relationship with democracy. He begins in nineteenth-century Manchester, where factory owners employed unskilled labourers at low wages, generating rampant inequality and a restrictive electoral franchise. He then moves to Detroit in the early 1900s, where the invention of the modern assembly line shifted labor demand to skilled blue-collar workers. Boix shows how growing wages, declining inequality, and an expanding middle class enabled democratic capitalism to flourish. Today, however, the information revolution that began in Silicon Valley in the 1970s is benefitting the highly educated at the expense of the traditional working class, jobs are going offshore, and inequality has risen sharply, making many wonder whether democracy and capitalism are still compatible.

Thank you VIVO
Color: Black, Size: Standard, Color: Black, Size: Standard
Between these cable management trays and the VIVO under desk UPS mount, I have completely tamed the cables at my desk. No more tangling my feet in cables when I stretch. No more messy, unkept appearance. Even with zip ties, I was never able to get anything close to this. It's truly amazing what the right hardware and a little bit of work can do. Everything you need is in the box. I do recommend drilling pilot holes, even in particle board or softer wood to make it easier to screw in, but the installation is dead simple and done right, no one will even know these trays are there. I should have done this years ago.

Perfect Solution for Desk Cable Clutter!
Color: White, Size: Standard
I’m super happy with the VIVO 2-pack under-desk cable management trays. They’re exactly what I needed to keep my workspace clean and organized. The 17-inch size is perfect for holding power strips, chargers, and all those messy cords that usually clutter up my desk area. Installation was a breeze — the trays come with all the screws and clear instructions. I mounted them under my desk in just a few minutes, and they feel really sturdy and well-built. The metal construction looks sleek and durable, and it holds everything without any sagging or bending. Now my cables are off the floor and totally hidden, which not only looks great but also makes cleaning so much easier. If you’re tired of tangled cords and want a neat setup, these trays are a must-have! Highly recommend!

Perfect cable management
Color: Black, Size: Standard
I set these up on my sit/stand office/gaming desk and trust me when I say I have a lot of cords, power blocks and what not going on. 2 27" monitors (both have DP and HDMI hooked up), two laptops, PS5, gaming speakers, iPad, docking station, phone charging station...and this thing holds all of the cables, blocks AND the Anker multi-plug with 12 outlets. No cords hanging, everything clean. Super easy to install, I totally recommend this product. I like it so much I bought another one for my girlfriend for her home office to get her all set up. You won't regret it

Use Velcro or Command strips and save yourself money
Color: Black, Size: Standard
These are high quality and are nice additions for the VIVO standing desks. However, they only fit slim power strips. My power strips were too wide to fit these. I ended up just using Velcro and Command strips to attach the power strip under my desk and purchasing cable management wires. In the end, I think it turned out much better than using these cable management trays and also saved me a significant amount of money.
