This book investigates the role of bourgeoisie society and the
political developments of the nineteenth century in the
peculiarities of German history. Most historians attribute German
exceptionalism to the failure or absence of bourgeois revolution in
German history and the failure of the bourgeoisie to conquer the
pre-industrial traditions of authoritarianism. However, this study
finds that there was a bourgeois revolution in Germany, though not
the traditional type. This so-called silent bourgeois revolution
brought about the emergence and consolidation of the capitalist
system based on the sanctity and disposability of private property
and on production to meet individual needs through a system of
exchange dominated by the market. In this connection, this book
proposes a redefinition of the concept of bourgeois revolution to
denote a broader pattern of material, institutional, legal, and
intellectual changes whose cumulative effect was all the more
powerful for coming to be seen as natural.
