if you don't mind science fiction, there's:
Heinlein's THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS (capitalism as utopia: self-styled libertarian, showing all sorts of authoritarianism).
Pohl & Kornbluth THE SPACE MERCHANTS (capitalism as dystopia: funny! early environmentalism, highly critical of corporate capitalism, sweat shops, etc.)

Subject: [PEN-L:32180] economy in novels
A student wants to read some novels to compare the views on capitalism
they portray. Any suggestions? (something more contemporary than, say,
Dickens' Hard Times). Post-WWII or thereabouts. Thanks, Mat
