With its deep roots and global scope, the capitalist system provides the framework for our lives--a framework of constant change, sometimes measured and predictable, sometimes drastic and out of control. Yet what is now ubiquitous was not always so. Capitalism took shape centuries ago, starting with a handful of isolated changes in farming, trade, and manufacturing, clustered in early-modern England. Astute observers began to notice these changes and consider their effects. Those in power began to harness these new practices to the state, enhancing both. A system generating wealth, power, and new ideas arose to reshape societies in a constant surge of change. Approaching capitalism as a culture, as important for its ideas and values as for its inventions and systems, award-winning historian Joyce Appleby gives us a fascinating introduction to this most potent creation of mankind from its origins to the present.--From publisher description.… (més)

Rien de neuf dans l'analyse, mais un bon exposé, un peu "americano centré" ( )
  Nikoz | Nov 29, 2016 |
Since the last chapters--anything post-ww2 or thereabouts--are absolute shite, I'm having a hard time remembering if there were any other redeeming qualities. It's not just opinion here; I was amazed how many simple facts of history that she's lived through that she got wrong. In which case, how accurate is she when it comes to earlier centuries? ( )

Appleby, a distinguished historian who has dedicated her career to studying the origins of capitalism in the Anglo-American world, here broadens her scope to take in the global history of capitalism in all its creative — and destructive — glory.
