The article Capitalism Beyond the Crisis, from 2009, has much relevance to the COVID-19 crisis.

Sen, Amartya. 2009. “Capitalism Beyond the Crisis.” March 26;
Dear Steve:
I sharply disagree with Sen.
He says this: “Some defenders of unfettered capitalism who resist change are convinced that capitalism is being blamed too much…”
He thinks we had “unfettered capitalism” in 2008. If a student of mine said that, I’d fail him
Best regards,
Walter
